Can someone advise me on why the white paper kept looking pink? This has been edited as much as I could (all on the phone) but still looks pinkish.
Was it picking up colour from something around it?

Love the display but am useless with your question ;-)

Looks nice actually! Maybe reflection

How is the lighting different from the one you shot previously?
That one was on a pink plate but the cloth looks white. Perhaps by comparison with the pink plate?
Maybe the camera is picking up on the color of the shells and throwing the white balance off?

Are the other colors accurate? I was thinking the same as Caryn about the color of the shells. I’m not much help here.

@merrelyn @ludwigsdiana @cafict @meotzi @beckyk365 It’s a mystery! Same time, same lighting…maybe it was in relation to the blue dish? I’ve had it happen before - it’s really annoying!!

Ask the (proper) internet ie Google it, starting with colour/shadow theory. Not sure why you're worried - apart from consistency - this seems a tonally pleasing photo.

@anniesue thanks Justina, I’ll give google a go. I was hoping for consistency but maybe it’s over rated.

It does look pink. What editing did you do on it so far? I wonder if your phone is setting a white balance to warm tones to compensate for what it thinks it should be? Do you have editing software on your phone to try changing the white balance to cooler (bluer) tones? Is the plate also too warm (warm grey?) or should it be a more blue-grey. I see you said the dish is blue, but it has actually been warmed up to look grey to me. So perhaps you can set the WB on your phone instead of letting the phone choose a white balance automatically. Also, the lighting is not even - I can see the light is coming from the bottom right - apart from the paper being a whiter colour bottom right, I can see the light hitting the left hand curve of the plate whilst the right hand curve is in shadow. This means that the shadow from the plate on the top left is making the paper darker there.

@seacreature thanks Desi - I can’t find a white balance setting on my phone or the editing (that comes with the phone) I “cooled” it but still pink and yes the blue is not as vibrant as it actually is.
