      Is it? Do we have enough information to tell based on pixel RGB values in a random JPEG from the Internet, or do we need more information about the camera’s white balance settings etc. to find out if IRL really does match that Pantone code?

      Also, Pantone 14-1911 is apparently “Candy Pink.” Is it plausible for backlit candy pink to look like that, or did the photoshopper copy colors from the smoke in addition to rewriting the label?

      This post makes me want to go learn about color-calibrated workflows.

        Assuming the color wasnt photoshopped (which I doubt),
        Would the camera’s white balance setting really matter?

        I would tend to think that since both objects are in the same shot,
        whatever color change you get from the white balance setting would affect them the same way.

        I don’t know though and would love the truth from someone qualified :)
