Not Quite Red

I love the color on these roses.

They’re not quite RED red. And the iPhone camera doesn’t quite capture their color 100% accurately.

To my eye there’s a bit more orange, maybe a touch of lavender.

I wonder if there’s an app for the iPhone that will let you scan something and get an accurate color reading, give you a value in RGB values. I know that hardware stores have something that you can use to scan things to get a perfect match for paint – maybe they could tell me.

This one probably comes the closest. Whatever it is, it’s wonderful.

LATE EDIT TWO SECONDS BEFORE POSTING – The gods have spoken. As I’m double checking the post settings before posting, out of the corner of my eye I see a Home Depot ad where they’re pushing home improvement deals and their app which will let you scan something and get paint that matches! Coincidence? Or intervention from the Universe? 🤔
