Cyan or Green?

Most of the time photoshop and bad cameras are responsible of delivering adulterated colors in the various pictures you find on the net, I was looking at -> this <- post today (WARNING:much eye-candy inside ;) ) and was wondering why in some pictures the Submariner/Sea Dweller lume seems cyan and in others more "greenish".

Have you ever seen the real things in action?

Do those pictures look adulterated (in the second shot for example the SD looks "greener" :cc_confused: ) or that's exactly the real color? (if I'm not mistaken its superluminova C1 right?)

What about those other Omegas etc.?

SLRDude's pics are all heavily Photoshopped. It doesn't change the fact that they're great pics. Changing the contrast/color balance settings on Photoshop can make the lume color appear different.

Keep in mind that most of the decent quality and noiseless lume shots are a bit "fake"... and don't come "straight out of the camera"... like my Nooby lumeshot (done with 2 layers):

I think it's all a function of the white balance of the digital camera not knowing what to adjust for... The photo's are in low light to start with, and I have taken 2 shots of the same watch, one right after another, and one is greenish, the other has a hint of blue.

SL looks greenish in person, never blueish as shown in some pics, and I don't even own photoshop, god knows it takes long enough to just get the pictures taken and cut and pasted, and uploaded etc, who has time for photoshop.

Sorry for the double post, but I was wondering...if its just a question of white balance, how come in the above picture one watch looks cyan (the Omega) and the other rather green?

Does this cyan extra bright super lume actually exist? (maybe used by other brands?) :cc_confused:

Extremely nice! :Jumpy: (ok, I'm a super lume sucker :wub:)

The Pam shots look "not so green", how do they appear to the "naked eye"?

I will let you form you own opinion my friend. Here is the colors of my dials shown dry, after assembly. Close to the gen, ahh yet so far away. I threw in a couple more lume shots to . Enjoy

Cheers
