Comment on The Day I Saw Van Gogh’s Genius in a New Lightparent

Comments

Maybe I am a little color blind and never knew it- because while I can see a difference between the two, it's not all that striking- the only difference I see is that oranges become yellows and deep blues become a little lighter. Am I the only one?

Something to keep in mind: the gamut of your LCD is a pretty crude mapping of the actual paint colors.

In the best case, on a wide gamut panel, these are very rude approximations of what you might see under the unnatural lighting experienced by the author. It should not be taken as any kind of diagnostic.

If you have e.g. a 6 bit TN panel, all of these are going to look very similar, before anomalous vision is even involved.
