At first glance I was surprised by the, not so subtle, difference of reality as seen on my new pair of Specialized S-Works, Limited Edition "Flo Orange" Road Shoes. You see, what I thought to be more of a "red" turned out to be an intense florescent orange. Fully aware of the variations of color being produced between input device (camera) and output device (monitor), I expected there to be a difference in color from the Specialized web page and the "delivered goods." But to the degree that difference was realized was unforeseen and quite surprising.
Seen in these two images one will notice the extreme difference between the image taken directly from the Specialized website (right) and the image that I captured of the shoes once I got them home (left).
Being the color-management guru that I am you'd think I'd know better, lesson learned. After much thought I figure I'll keep the shoes and ride like I love 'em. It's all a matter of perspective.
