Comment on The color of every photo on the internet blended together is orangeComments−Someone12ylooking at lists of RGB color names (e.g. http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm, http://www.keller.com/html-quickref/4a.html, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names) I notice that everything called 'orange' has a blue component of zero.So, this claim would imply that the average color in nature doesn't have a blue component.I guess the conclusion must be a) the sky is blue, and b) the majority of photos on the internet does not show sky.−0x012yAlso, the common rgb->greyscale algorithm has a very low factor for the blue component (0.21 for r, 0.72 for g, 0.07 for b was one of the first on google)
