Color Correction Notice

 Yesterday's post about this blue painted piece I bought does not do justice to the color.

 It's picking up on my camera's lens as a much brighter blue than what it is for some reason, and I have tried taking more photos to get it right, but.... not happening.

It is really more of a, what I like to refer to as a cadet blue.

This photo taken in this morning's light is actually a bit closer, although still not perfect.

And I got to thinking that, just like a camera's lens, so our eyes see differently and perceive color differently than the way another person sees it.

WHICH

may be the reason my husband does not care for painted furniture.  I see gray, he sees blue... it's a discussion we have had many times regarding the paint color on our bedroom walls.  I see it as a light, icy cold bluish gray and he sees it only as blue.  He does not see a spectrum or shades of blue as I do...for instance, he would see teal as green.  

And so it is with this blue piece of furniture in my photos... the color presented yesterday is NOT the color I see when viewing this piece in person.

 THIS is the color it appears to me as being in my photos.

THIS is closer to the color I see it as in person.

They are close, but the second color, the way I see it, is a bit more toned down.

Evidently my camera is seeing it in the first version.

 Yesterday's photos did not give a good depiction of the color of the lamp either.

*quack*

 It's a shade of green or teal or,

whatever your eye sees it as.

So, that's just my take on the color you are seeing vs. the color I am seeing.

AND, why my husband has not said anything at all about the blue piece of furniture that now sits in our home that I am loving to pieces.

 Have a perfect Memorial Day.

At least my camera got the colors of the flag right!
