    Colour grading this video was a nightmare! I've got as close as I can to the real colour - Stuart gave me a small pot of the pigment to take home! - but it's just not quite there. It's not more saturated, it's not brighter, it's just... a tiny bit more pink, somehow.

    I just got this pigment. It REALLY is hard to explain how pink it is. On its own, it just POPS. Like, I have ALL sorts of fluorescent colors, and the most fluorescent pink I owned before this now looks magenta next to it.
    But under a blacklight, this pigment literally looks glitch-in-the-matrix level of pink.

    As a floral designer, the most frustrating part about immortalizing my works with digital photography is the inability of screens to accurately depict the subtlest nuances and shifts in luminosity and glow that flower colors have to them. I’m guessing the pinkest pink is like flowers: luminous and multidimensional.

    • @bubbles581
      @bubbles581 Рік тому

      I photograph artworks professionally and there are a lot of factors! At my shop we adjust something like 500 color values for each artwork we photograph, there is no camera in the world that can replicate color perfectly - so how you process the photo can make a huge difference. And then of course the screen... thats a whole separate thing that also needs to be high quality and calibrated - often on 2000+ colors. And then you also lack how the light changes and you look at 3d objects from different directions, which informs our internal mental idea of what the colors "are"
      Pinkest pink is simply outside of the color gamut of monitors. Google "srgb vs Adobe rgb vs pro photo color gamut" moat monitors are not even 100% srgb so their color range is actually very limited

      The word blue is such a blanket term. Some shades of it are so different they look as if they should be considered different colours. How does pink (which is just light red essentially) get to be recognised and have its own word that is commonly used but light blue and dark blue very often aren't even specified between.

      Not even an OLED can display the blackest black - it's made of carbon nanotubes so that it can absorb more light than any material - including the turned off pixels in your OLED screen. The only way they'd be able to display that color is if they too were made of carbon nanotubes, in which case, your screen would always be the blackest black, because it would absorb all light.

      It would be clever marketing, it it wasn't absolutely true. Many pigments are colours that reside outside the 'pixel colour triangle' of the standard RGB camera or screen. there are several reds that are redder than anything current technology can show us, and blues, and greens. for 99% of applications, what your screen shows you is enough.. but artists exist where screens don't need to be. and THAT is the point of the video, I think.

      No, it is clever marketing because they are showing you something you can’t see.
      It would make a lot of people want to buy these ‘coloriest colors’ and the ‘glitteriest glitter’ because they want to experience it for themselves.
      It would be as if you say, that no matter what, you could never take a proper picture of the Eiffel Tower for some reason. And that the Eiffel Tower can only be experienced in person.
      For many people, travelling around the world doesn’t make sense as pictures and video can capture what you could have done anyways so why waste the money?
      Here though, they have pictures, and the have video, but no matter what, you can not ever experience the experience without buying it yourself.
      THAT is clever marketing.

      Now, SEMPLE could be called out for marketing, he's actually profiting (via exposure) from this (the whole 'pinkest pink' deal was an amusing viral concept a while back, and teasing Anish Kapoor was a definite dig and marketing strategy), but while he's definitely running a business, he's also an artist, and I think a big part of what the whole line of colours is about is literally getting the high-end pigments into the hands of those artists that need them. Most artists no longer make their own paints and pigments, for better or for worse, and Semple is willing to supply them to others at a very reasonable cost. 4 pounds for 2 ounces of high-end professional grade art pigments is dirt cheap. Marketing isn't a particular focus for him, other than occasionally acting as the face for his brand (Culture Hustle is the actual studio/company; Semple's the leader of the studio but that only goes so far).

    Pop it under a spectrometer and gives us the results. Than use the measured spectrum to generate the values that do represent this pink (even though they might be larger than 255 or smaller than 0). Using that generate an image using that pink and some colour correction methods (gamut mapping comes to mind) to force the pink into showable values. The resulting image will not contain the actual pink, however it will gives us an idea of how different it is to other colours which will look washed out in the corrected image.

    I took photos of a Scarlet tanager about a year ago - in full sunlight, it looked like it had been plugged into an outlet and turned on. I thought I'd have some terrific pictures to show off.
    The photos were terrible: much of the red was completely blown out, replaced with a yellowish orange color as the camera's computer (an expensive Nikon) lost its mind trying to process what it was seeing. I think the feathers must absorb extra light at other wavelengths and convert it to red, on top of the red that's already there.

      Nadine Sheriff You can't lmao. You can't measure color like you can height or width because color has no base it's not point A to point B like height is. You can't say this is the base of the color pink because any form of the color pink could be the base. Even if you could you couldn't say this is pinker then that because color splits off into branches, people think light pink goes this way and dark pink goes this way when in reality they are all pink so think of it as a family tree but going up. The family tree is going to keep splitting up but you can't say that this person is more of a family member then this person. It's all about perspective and what you think is the pinkest pink.

    • @KhooTengKwang
      @KhooTengKwang 7 років тому +4

      I think the saturation is key(although lightness is also very important). Pink may be a shade of red that is just saturated enough that it can be considered as pink and not as a red. There are also hues like orange pinks and purplish pinks to consider, so now the question is even harder to answer with other hues to take into account. (Of course, these hues have to be as close to red as possible without being perceived as just desaturated oranges and purples). So yeah, it's quite hard to objectively tell what can be considered pink. It's all a matter of our perception of what is and isn't pink.

    • @KhooTengKwang
      @KhooTengKwang 7 років тому +2

      On a side note, it may be unlikely for people to think of any shade of orange pink as the pinkest pink so the so-called 'pinkest pink' may be between red and purple pink.

    I'll just assume it's like looking at a yellow highlighter. The exact yellow that is highlighter yellow is very specific, and also not like anything else I've ever seen. Or like the red from a red rose. There is a brilliance to a red rose that can't be captured properly by any image I've ever seen. The deepness and brilliance is astounding.

      ​@@jhgvvetyjj6589 yep, the explanation tom gives does not really tell what's going on. We all learned about the 3 colors that can make up all others if mixed correctly. But that's not quite right. The color receptors in our eyes have more complicated absobtion spectra. Especially in the "blue" range. There is no frequency of light that looks blue but does not stimulate the red or the green receptor. But there is a point where the red cells are almost blind. You can never mix this color on a 3-color screen. (a bright light blue or turquoise color) Because it has to use a higher frequency to be able to produce this deeper blue.
      To make the point clear: it's not that it is not bright enough. But the balance between the receptor activities can not be achieved with a 3 color scheme.
