What is the actual color of the product?


In this section, we clarify the potential color variations between a product photo with a white background and an ambient photo, allowing you to discern the true color of the product.

We consistently capture photos of our products against a white background using neutral calibrated lighting. It is in these conditions that we observe the true color of the product.

Why does the color of the product on a white background appear different from the color I see of the same product in an ambient photo?

Because depending on the type and tonality of the light to which the product is exposed, the color may be perceived with a more yellowish, whiter, or darker tone. 


We provide an example of the variations that can be observed in the color of the Amira graphite chair based on the tonality of the light it is exposed to:

If we place the chair in a space with indirect natural light, the graphite color appears darker. However, when exposed to direct sunlight, the chair's color appears lighter. The same applies when the chair is under interior artificial lighting, where the gray color takes on a warmer tone. If the light comes from a direct spotlight in a nighttime setting, the chair's color may appear slightly yellowish.

To conclude, we present a chart of the color temperature scale to help you visualize the color tonality based on the type of light exposure.

The color temperature refers to the tonality that light can exhibit. In other words, light can present warmer tones with more yellows, or cooler tones with more whites or blues. This temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin (K). A higher Kelvin value results in a whiter tone, while a lower value tends to produce a more yellowish tone.


For example, we capture the product photo on a white background using neutral lighting at 5,200 degrees Kelvin, which is equivalent to direct sunlight.

In summary, depending on the type of light used to photograph the same product, we observe a variation in its color.


We hope to have assisted you in better understanding the variations you may observe in your product when exposed to different lighting conditions.
