Felt colors and lighting

Hello folks,

In an effort to make clear why the fedora and other costume items look as they do on screen in terms of color, my cousin, a professional lighting designer, and I will be putting together a little article on screen lighting vs. in person lighting some time next week.

We hope to (pun alert) shed some light on why a fedora can look sort of green-brown in person and so reddish brown on screen.

So stay tuned !

Thanks
JJ

Actually, they're ALL grey! It's one of the best kept secrets Hollywood has!

Regards! Michaelson

Good luck, Jersey! I know the lighting argument has been brought up a couple times in the past, but it will be nice to finally see a documented experiment of it.

I can't wait to see what you come up with. I was shocked when I found out my favorite car the Lotus 7 from the TV " The Prisoner) was a jag green with a yellow nose cone ( front). When I saw it as black and yellow and was looking at it for about 17 years before I got my hands on one and it's green.
