<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4795033, member: 1765"]Color is a funny thing. There are 4 things that make it a moving target. Color of the light source, white balance of your camera, color of the light you use to look at the coin, and color calibration of the display used to view the images. So as you can imagine, getting the color of a copper coin right isn't all that straightforward. I try to use a slightly lower light angle than usual for brown, circulated copper to avoid reflections, which mute the color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
