the color your brain shows you isnt actually the direct result of what is reflected off an object. it’s your brain’s best guess as to what it would look like if it were lit with perfect white light. which is why contextless photos can fuck up this guessing, and why it can also get wobbly in very low light or under those orange streetlights that are all over the formet warsaw pact countries.
My post was not even meant to consider the human error aspect. I am speaking of the way that cameras observe light. A digital photo is the perspective of a camera observing light.
The color of a digital photograph can be affected by many factors including the camera lens, exposure time, the light sensors, many other settings.
The hexadecimal values of pixels in a photograph is not objective. We don’t even know if there was balanced light in the room.
