So, in the video, when you looked at this:

You saw a dark black and a navy blue? Or is it only in the context of the full image that you're seeing it as dark black and navy blue?

I see it as obviously black and blue, but i think the idea that anyone sees navy blue is a misconception and leads to much of the confusion. What i instinctively interpret it as is something closer to sky coloured, but clearly blue.

The black is a bit different because it's very clearly showing up as golden to the camera, but 1) it would be a very fucking ugly colour of lacing, 2) the photo is clearly taken in strongly coloured bright lighting so it's pretty obviously not the colour it looks like, and 3) it's a pretty safe assumption that any dark lacing is just pitch black.

This is basically what i intuitively interpret it as looking like in more normal lighting:

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
