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

[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 429768, member: 3340"] Looks like the first pic has a yellow (warm) light the other is a blue (cool) light. Colour spectrum of the lighting can massively impact on stone colour. I.e. blue topaz photographed under warm or incandescent lighting will appear pale, more whitish. Same stone photographed under cool or day light will appear much bluer. Its the opposite for your 2 stones. Warm light on a yellow stone makes the colour seem richer than it does under a cool light. I try to photograph under the same light no matter what the stone is. Sometimes its tempting to go for the better shot but for the sake of consistency its best to stay on the path. Only exception is photos out in the sun. [/QUOTE]
