A major problem we have in dealing with color is the question of how colors display in black and white whotography. Here you can see how this briown suit and stockings convert to black and white. This of couirse is not a perfect test because color display in black and white is affected by the emulsion used. Here red and blue in particular display differently. This is why the colors in American flags as well as the British snfd French flags often look strange. Brown is not as sedsitive, although redish brown may be affected. Here we can see a grey scale version of a colorized brown suit, nit a color photograph. Thus while not a true black and white version of the subject, it does provide an interesting indicator. Just put your cursor on the colorized image to see a black snd white version.
