Optical Brightness

Optical brightness refers to the visual perception of how bright an object appears to the eye, influenced by factors such as its color, surface texture, and environmental lighting. It is distinct from physical brightness, which measures light intensity in measurable units. For example, a white shirt may appear brighter than a black one under the same lighting conditions due to its ability to reflect more light. Optical brightness plays a significant role in art, design, and everyday experiences, as it affects how we perceive colors and objects in our surroundings.
