In this upcoming episode of Wider Lens, we sit down with David Wyble a color scientist, longtime researcher at the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, and co-founder of Gray Sky Imaging, to take a closer look at what it really means to get color right, and why accurate color is fundamental to cultural heritage digitization.
Color seems straightforward until you try to measure it. What does an RGB value from a camera actually tell us? How do you characterize a camera, scanner, printer, or display to ensure that one instrument’s “red” matches another’s? And perhaps most importantly, how do these measurements connect to the way the human eye actually perceives color?
In this conversation, we explore the science, challenges, and standards behind color accuracy, and why getting color right is about far more than simply making an image look good.
