So then could it be said the suits in the "doctored" photo are dark blue, but not black? Like the tux from father of the bride?
First, it's all a stupid tempest in a teapot. Russia is in Ukraine. Iran is arming Houthis and we're bombing Houthis. Trade war with China.
What does the media obsess over?
Black vs. Dark Blue.
Let's be honest, we don't see color the same. Some are color blind, and in different parts of the spectrum. Women supposedly see more variation than men. There's even evidence that humans used to consider blue and green the same color in the past.
Clothes can look different in the sunlight vs. incandescent vs. fluorescent vs. LED.
And colors look different on the computer, even if no photoshop is done. The chips are different in different cameras, even normal processing algorithms vary. Computers display color differently.
I do agree that the photo showing Trump in vivid blue, and others in blue, was over-processed.
But I think it is highly likely that the processing only brought out the blues in the dark blue suits. It didn't necessarily turn black suits blue.
