Giannis vs Polinik on the color of bronze :)

[Dan Howard]

There is no point trying to compare the colour of different items on a computer screen.

1.It is very difficult to get the same colour in a photo as the real item
2. the colour distorts as soon as you save it in a compressed format such as jpeg
3. the colour distorts even more when viewed on a computer screen. Every single person viewing the image will see a different colour depending on the video card, the monitor, and the settings of both.
4. Taking photos of the same item in the same lighting with different cameras will yield different results.
5. As noted above, the type of polishing can make two items of the same metal take on a completely different colour.

The best you can do is to find various examples and use the same camera and lighting to photograph all of them and then post them all together in a single image. The colours still won't be right but at least a comparison can be made and differences noted.

Unless this is done then it is difficult to tell whether the type of polish has changed the appearance or whether it was some of the other factors mentioned above.
