Color deficiency/anomaly and autism

[Judge]

The only time colour matters is when their is a discernible difference. Is your TV giving the same colour as your neighbour,

In my country it would seem many consumers never even bother to inspect or alter all the controls that can dramatically change the appearance of their picture. That they just live with it as it came brand new by default. (Which can sometimes be very good or very poor.)

I used to plead with my cousin to allow me to correct the color on her television (both cable HDMI and Roku HDMI sources) and she always declined, remaining in blissful ignorance.

Even when I go to a store see many TV side by side I can see the differences, unfortunately once you bring your purchase home, you or others no longer care. As you have nothing to compare too.

Definitely. Certain manufacturers render more saturated color, often warmer than others. Sometimes the difference is slight, other times not so much.

Though in retail conditions, stores usually set their tvs on display to "demo" settings with obnoxiously over-saturated color and brightness...whether warm or cold. A somewhat deceptive practice.

But the customers seem to buy into the over-saturated color and brightness as being a good thing, often to be disappointed given the lighting conditions alter their viewing expectations compared to what they saw in a store.

There's quite a few YouTube presentations casting quite a shadow over tv retailers in this instance. A practice that tends to give the impression of cheaper tvs rendering pictures as good as the more expensive ones. Though in a few cases that can sometimes be the truth...lol. But then even a pleasing picture in no way necessarily reflects reliable quality control either. Making picking the right television more difficult than it may appear from the retailers' perspective.

Clothing retailers have played this same game for years, using lighting. I use Daylight LED lights in my home.

GMTA.

Myself as well using Daylight (5000K) bulbs to light everything, to preserve more accurate color indoors.

Years ago got my design department appliance manufacturer to change their fluorescent lighting to chroma 50 Plastic, consol. paint body porcelain top, Metamerism is a thing. Before I retired, did visual colour matching prints outside at my recommendation. Not fun in winter.

Just park your car under a street light at night. What I have learned over the years most companies that have colour
control as an important attribute of their product have no idea how to control it. My expertise is rare and in demand. If you want to spend the time obtaining it.

A basic consideration of printing as opposed to rendering images exclusively online to achieve more accurate color.

Within reason slight variations in how the colour appears on a screen doesn't bother me, as a Printer I never expected anything on a screen to perfectly match what's in print because it can't really happen. Different media formats affect the "appearance" of a colour, even just change what paper you're printing on and the colour "appears" to be different. What other colours you have surrounding in the background can also shift our perception of a colour.

That was part of my job as a Printer, and I was pretty good with colour. We used to keep samples of ink from jobs that we expected to be ordered again to make matching another batch easier, but with pale pastel colours this is very difficult, even the slightest variation stands out clearly.

Yes had to overcome some of these issues, how to maintain colour different substrates, Aluminum , hot dip galvanized, electro galvanized, cold rolled steel, different basecoats, urethane, polyester, fluorocarbon, then coat this with different clearcoats,with different gloss without having a significant colour change. Even to the point a professional tinter would not see let alone a customer. Only my spectrophotometer could pick up the difference.
