Now let’s see Paul Allen’s wall.
Look at that subtle warm white colouring. The tasteful edge detailing. Oh my God, it even has aligned brush strokes!
What “Swiss Coffe”?
Judging from this picture, I’m assuming it’s 99.9% milk.
It’s obviously a warmer white compared to the clinical colder white they have currently. Warmer colours just feel more homely. I wouldn’t want a cold officey white in my house
This isn’t a painting problem. This is a lighting problem
It can be both, warm lights don’t massively affect how cold/warm something is compared to other objects
The light is clearly a cold light, and the reflection magnifies that effect. The sample is much less reflective.
I’m no expert but, wouldn’t this be the sheen/finish of the paint itself?
Most humans are trichromats which means they possess 3 independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the 3 different types of cone cells in the eye.
Tetrachromats have 4 independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the 4 different types of cone cells in the eye. This lets them see a larger color space than trichromats.
Maybe your wife is a tetrachromat.
Makes sense.
Funnily enough there’s actually sexual dimorphism in human vision. While studies about exactly how different the structure of the eye is and how it might differ from an assumed objective commonalities is still not conclusive it’s thought Female phenotypic people supposedly do tend to have higher color differentiation on average and are better at recognition of static objects while Male phenotypic people have better night vision and ability to interpret objects in motion.
So a guy holding up two paint swatches they can’t tell the difference in and being confused is basically a cross cultural phenomenon.
Yeah but printers are optimized for trichromats and these color swatches are printed, so they should look the same to a tetrachromat as everyone else.
Which gives makes me feel bad for them cause all printed media, and any TV, monitor, or phone display that can’t do 1000+ nit HDR must look very dull and unrealistic to a tetrachromat. Hell, even HDR 400 (the minimum standard) in of itself is still a relatively niche feature, let alone HDR 1000+.
They’re clearly different, even under the bad lightning.
The wall is made using a very brightly white plaster.
On the other hand your sample is more muted drawing a bit toward some sort of warm brown.
Wall has a cold, blue tone to me. Warmer cream tone is king.
It looks to me like the only difference is that the card is flatter than the wall
It looks like it might be slightly a slightly warmer tone to me
Nice, can do jack shit and tell her you made the change and you won’t even be lying.
This is a level of petty that people with too much time, money, or lack of true purpose in life have motivation to pursue.
Once over dust, twice over rust
I’ll always upvote a Red Dwarf reference o7

I work at a hardware store and I mix paint. I see shit like this every single day.
