    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.

    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 Pƙed rokem

      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

      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).

    The question I've always had: are all pixel displays just as vibrant as each other and only depend on how bright they are? Or do some pixel technologies create more vibrant colors at any brightness?

      Definitely not the same, if you look up there are color scales wich are applied to screens, this is extremely important for people who work on graphic design, video editing, etc.

      Nah, it probably is the same.
      Standard monitors have very limited cyans. A somewhat more expensive monitor can produce much more saturated cyan, but it's hard to find digital content which uses those colors (it could be encoded with negative red, but that trick only works mathematically not with actual light).
      Try to find an on-screen color that matches a peacock feather - you can't quite do it.
      What's happening is that the RGB primary colors don't exactly match the LMS cones in your eye. A "pure" blue activates all three cones, etc. Since all three cones are activated, it's theoretically possible to find more saturated colors in nature.
      (This is especially true for the primary green.)
      In fact, the monochromatic colors - all photons have almost the same wavelength - are the purest colors which exist. The yellow from a diffraction grating is much more yellow than a yellow on a computer screen.
      But even the monochromatic colors activate more than one cone at once. (Deep red is closest to only activating one cone.)
      Optical illusions can do a little bit better than nature. If you make one kind of cone tired and then look at a complimentary color, it can seem to be just a bit more intense than any natural color.
