So perhaps when you take that shot you love and a lot of people don't, you're just seeing something different. eek

The one on the left is over exposed and the colour balance is different, but they certainly look very similar.

this is a sample of the gold in the left square and black in the right square

computers cannot lie, what do people now think who see the gold part as black ?

Because, for the millionth time, the photo on the left is clearly over-exposed and our brains compensate for that so we realise what the true colour is. Doesn't help that the lighting in the shop its taken is is clearly yellow biased so will reflect that hue off any surface.

I wasn't trying to start a secondary debate about it.

I just hadn't considered how different people might perceive the same photograph. Different tastes could be partially accounted for by colour perception.

So someone, somewhere, thinks Steve's Torrindon landscapes are st. biggrin

who cares what the true colour is on the real dress in real life ?, I wanted to know what the colour in the picture is and a sample proved it was gold/brown.

So I am seeing what is the true colour of that picture, the true colour is what the picture is :-)

IF some peoples brains are compensating and making up a colour then that's not real and they are colour blind ;-)

has nothing to do with lighting or white balance, I can take a picture of a red item and make it green, the real colour is still red but the picture is green and will sample green, the sample is gold/brown and that's what 70% people seem to be seeing. not made up crap ;-p

It all depends which screen you use to view it, how bright the screen is and how far off the colour balance is off on it.

It is clever as it is an "edge case" - it displays differently on my phone, to my laptop, to my PC.
