This is such foolishness. Didn't you know that if you posted this, it would be met with negative remarks?

are iPhone cameras all over the place in terms of camera calibration? I thought they'd be reasonably similar and have a 'look' but the greens are showing up different in all of the pics. If I took pics with my 4S they'd come out different too.


I think it's got more to do with lighting conditions, iPhone seems to change foreground colors to work with background colors for color balance, I think the green is really susceptible to this.

didn't expect that


I wear armored motorcycle leather most of the year so I suppose it's relatively comfortable. The lining, though, is objectively awesome. Extremely smooth and it's got that lovely "cooled" effect when slid on.

Wait that was the olive green? It seems like bottle green is actually lighter. I thought it was the other way around


It looks to me like the bottle green is a more saturated hue, which I guess can make it look darker. The earthiness of olive definitely lends itself to the darker, more understated side of things.

I don't suppose you have a decent camera at hand? I'd love to get a good look at that olive green. :D

What do you mean by saturated hue

I ordered bottle green bc I was hoping it'd be darker than olive, something near black

bottle green indoors is pretty dark. it's like a black leather jacket but you're in the matrix and there is this green tint.

outside with some light, it's pretty green. you can't mistake it for black.

Mo green in your green, basically. Olive's a murky mix of greens, greys, browns, etc.
