JdeBPHaving seen the #TomScott video on #StuartSemple's pink years ago, I'm always curious nowadays as to how well the camera captures the actual pink.
@JdeBP I didn’t manipulate the image in any way and used an iPhone 13. It’s better in many instances to my Canon, and a lot less hassle!
The #TomScott thing wasn't about manipulation but about fundamental limitations of digital images.
There are parts of the colour space that the (24-bit) #RGB gamut simply cannot reach, and Semple's #pink was in that area. It simply isn't possible to make a YouTube video where one can see the colour as it is in reality.
This is actually true of a lot of colours. We never see violet in computer images, only purple, for example. Most of the time our visual system couldn't tell the difference, anyway.
Semple's pink has made both Tom Scott and QI, and is a case where we can tell the difference, so pink is the case where I tend to be reminded of this.
I can't show you how pink this pink is.
I can show a brighter pink. I can show a more saturated pink. But I can't show you this pink. Not quite. More about Stuart Semple and his pigments: https://w...
@JdeBP Interesting. Thanks. I will take another pic when fully open.
