A Giveaway + A Color Debate
We’ve all seen the infamous dress by now, right?
Is it blue and black or white and gold? I know we are all sick of it by now and let’s just face it –
it isn’t a very flattering dress to begin with.
However, it does call in on your ability to perceive color. Why did some people see it as white and gold when it is, pardon me, obviously blue and black? There have been tons of articles popping up about the science behind it, but have you checked your eyes lately?
How well do your own eyes perceive colors and hues?
As a photographer it is imperative that I be able to notice subtle changes in hues and it is even more important when ordering print products from a lab. No one wants green undertones in their skin, right? YUCK!
Have you ever taken your family vacation pictures and printed them at a local store like Walmart or Walgreens and had your images showing off horrible color casts? This is also an example of how color is perceived. Color can often be misinterpreted by even computers, your monitor screens, and local printers if not calibrated regularly. This is why Ray Davis Photography offers professional printing of our client’s images to ensure they are adequately representing their full color spectrum.
