Can the design of a stone affect the colour as a camera sees it?

[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 428528, member: 2976"] Cheers for that Gizmo :Y: I keep thinking about lashing out on a camera with a macro lens but then the phone camera suddenly decides it's going to take nice photos - until the next one. Strange thing is while the background looks yellowish in the first photo, it also accurately represents the stone as it's true bright yellow - which the stone looks to the [i]eye[/i] pretty much regardless of the type of lighting. Incandescent, fluro, natural light - the stone is bright yellow in all of them when seen with the naked eye. By contrast, the background lighting in the following photos looks more natural but the camera sees the stone as being ginger beer-coloured when it is the exact same bright yellow to the eye in any lighting.

It's a normal-shaped stone with a flower motif inscribed in the bottom. Anyway, thanks for that info mate, I'll just have to keep playing around and persisting. Cheers [/QUOTE]
