It's actually pretty interesting how much processing goes on in the brain for images. We do a sort of equivalent to the phone in compensating for the colour to make it 'right'. The orange car in the article image acted as kind of an 'anchor' for the colour compensation. The blue/white-black/gold dress [1] controversy kinda illustrates that 'anchoring'. The 'Checker Shadow Illusion' [2] is another instance where our brains 'adjust colours'.

It's funny that you mention this because to me the car kind of looks like it's grey, lit by orange light from all sides except the top. Edit: after looking at it a bit more I think you're right and I'm wrong
- mindslight 6y agoIMO the orange car had little to do with the output color grading. The real color temperature anchor is the bright foreground illumination.
- gojomo 6y agoYes, with the brightly-lit white undersides of the awnings.
