Does my picture have the same colors that your head is aware?

[labbai]

What is the right blue? the real red? I see what I see and I like the pictures that are close to my red and blue. My red is not your red. Colors are just a state of mind.
Colors that are black and white are, err.. black and white.
How do you see green, or red? Is my grey your grey?
What is the right color?
Can a color define your life?
Tell me what is the right blue, or the suitable yellow.
Whose eyes have been telling us what is green and what is not?
Colors in a real world are lame. Pictures of a today's world are colorful. Where does all that color come from? :cool:

Answered as best as possible.

What is the right blue? 0000ffh or 0, 0, 255 decimal.

the real red? ff0000h or 255, 0, 0 decimal.

Colors are just a state of mind. No, colors are the spectrum between 688 THz and 484 THz or 380 through 750 nanometers in waveleangth on the electromagnetic spoectrum. Certain frequencies are reflected or absorbed by a specific material. Your eyes have sensors sensetive to that range of frequencies.

How do you see green, or red? Your eues have cells. Some are sensitive to frequencies between 526–606 THz resulting in an electrical discharge to the brain. This is the frequency for green light. There are other cells that are sensetive to frequencies between 400–484 THz. Those are sensetive to reg light.


Is my grey your grey? All colors including gray are measurable thus can be identical. However as you light sensors might be tuned differently than mine, you may inturprate the color differently. For ecample the color may be 128, 128, 128 decimal, a perfect gray. My eyes may perceive it as a perfect gray however your eyes may have sensors more sensitive to green and you will perceive a green tint to the color.


What is the right color? The one you want.

Can a color define your life? No.

or the suitable yellow.ffff00h or 255, 255, 0 decimal.

Whose eyes have been telling us what is green and what is not?None. It is measurable. Any spectrum analizer can easily tell you the waveleangths being reflected or absorbed by a specific material. Pure physics.

None. It is measurable. Any spectrum analizer can easily tell you the waveleangths being reflected or absorbed by a specific material. Pure physics.
Also important is physiology and perception. We don't have eyes that can measure the wavelength of light. Instead we have three different sets of sensors whic measure frequency bands of light, which overlap somewhat. Unless the frequency bands captured by a camera exactly matches the ones captured by our eyes, the camera image cannot completely recreate the viewed image. You can get false colours, colours with different spectral content but which look the same - this phenomenon is called metamerism. All current cameras suffer from it, to one degree or another.

And what of all those (presumably) marvelous colors outside the ridiculously narrow spectrum of human vision?

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

This thread is hilarious

It happens sometimes when you give people a microphone. :lol:

The musician in understands EXACTLY what he's saying. We all hear the same sounds differently. For me, it's guitar tone. Someone posted shots of Joe Bonamassa today. His guitar tone is something I've tried to emulate because of it's raw, powerful tone that comes across with clarity of both strings and wood.

I got close with my own ears, then recorded some sound samples to hear how close I'd gotten with just my two ears. Not close. Not even close to close. Did some comparing, made some adjustments and recorded again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Long story short, what we THINK we hear (and see) can be very different from what is actually being put out on the airwaves on which sound travels.

Also, you have to consider the medium of recording, the microphone(s) used to record, the density of the air, proximity of my ears in relation to the positioning of the mic, etc., and on and on and on. That doesn't even take into account the size difference of Joe's hand and mine, how much pressure he frets with and how hard (or softly) he picks the guitar. Lots of variables to consider.

People hear differently.

People SEE differently.

The original poster makes a good point.
