This is totally correct though.

Also, how do we not have an emoticon with a monocle and top hat? I mean, really. That would easily be one of the most used emoticons on this forum.

I know I know.  I had the pin on when I bought the suit, and just left it there.  Probably not a good move, eh?

I could tell this immediately because the outfit "clashes" and the tie "sticks out," but wanted to give you a more technical walkthrough of what you did wrong and give you a way to see it more clearly. I'm sure you think you look great--but, uhh, no.

So let me give you what you really want:

AWESOME STEEZ MAN!!! WHEREDOIKOP???

I can hand those out all day. Vapid shit like that is easy to spew out. If that's what you want, move on over to WAYWRN.

If you look at the color values, the difference from the grey line of two of them isn't terribly great, however the vector differences between the colors obviously are. You can grey scale it all you want, but you lose information, and the information you've lost makes you wrong. We could also look at this in HSV, which would also show the problem with your analysis.
