title: Attentional selection: Mexican hats everywhere.
abstract: A recent study elegantly shows that allocating attention to a particular color not only enhances perception of the attended color but also suppresses that of similar colors, presumably giving any potentially relevant object in the visual environment a perceptual advantage by increasing its perceptual strength at the expense of similar but different stimuli.
