== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[K-On!]]'', Sawako-sensei is able to tell that Ui is impersonating Yui because her breasts are ''slightly'' bigger.
* In ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', each town has an Officer Jenny and a Nurse Joy, who all look identical—but Brock can tell them apart. Similarly, all [[
** In ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', a young woman with four Patrats is aware that she can distinguish them and the player can't—so she challenges the player to a [[Shell Game]] with them.
Line 32:
* ''[[Frasier]]'': Frasier offers Roz advice on what color to repaint her house. He looks at three tile samples and proclaims them subtly different shades of off-white. Then she flips them over and advises him to look at the ''colored'' side.
* ''[[Happy Days]]'': Ralph and Potsie are living downstairs from a pair of twins, Daisy and Masie. Ralph thinks they look exactly the same, but Potsie says Masie has whiter teeth.
* ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'': Tim and Jill are picking out bathroom tiles. Jill insists they're different colors, Tim sees them all as white. Al, however, agrees with Jill.

The device has seven colored knobs; according to Kowalski, who is giving instructions by telephone, they are red, crimson, scarlet, brick, salmon, ruby and rose. The lemurs are only supposed to turn the scarlet knob, but to them (and to us) they just look the same shade of red.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "Oh, There You Are, Perry": Perry is forced to leave home by the agency. The boys, trying to find him, make a device that calls platypuses, and are immediately surrounded by dozens. The boys find a reason to believe none of them is Perry, even though to the viewer's eye they're exactly alike. All except for one:

'''Clerk:''' All right.

'''Clerk:''' Ok, 100 yellow. }}
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'': in the episode "Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman." Hank was indiscriminately interested in both of Dr. Quymn's semi-identical twin daughters, Nancy and Drew, even though he couldn't tell them apart. Dean could tell them apart, and tried to clue Hank in, but it didn't help.
