For Dave

I set the white balance off the sign in front.
I then upped the vibrance to 100 , basically saturating the colors.

That lower panel sure looks green to me now.

Paul - thanks. I saturated the colors so the green really stands out. The one in exhibition is not over saturated, so you only see the tint. It is also taken at a different angle.
I think the real culprit is different kids of lighting.
A grey card would have produced the same result, only perhaps a different color tint.
To get it right for the camera, I would need grey card shots all over the car.

It sort of like deep shadows of trees in winter sun and snow - there are different white balances in the shade and even around the tree in the sun.

I view that lower panel as beautiful emerald green, kind of reminds me of some of the waters in the Caribbean. I’m assuming that is not how it looked to the eye but the WB adjustments created it. FWIW I like it and I also wonder how it would have turned out if you’d used a grey card for WB. Paul
