Chromatic

I can spend hours trying to reproduce the perfect tint or shade of fabric or prop.

However, sometimes, movie colors can be deceiving.

The two pictures below (not edited in any way) come from my favorite resource for Star Wars screen references, www.starwarsscreencaps.com, on which housands of still images from Blu-rays and 4Ks can be found. These screen captures (from Rogue One) are purely an example, but it is possible to see evident differences in the reds and the oranges already. In the same movie, Jyn Erso's vest was originally totally brown, but in the theatrical release (and also in the Blu-ray), that tint shifted to a more blue or grey shade.
Post-production is the ultimate prop creator's enemy.

So, which color is the correct one?
As always, in any fandom, that is totally up to us.
