That's a bit of a generalization, I'd say. I can peg dark-grey vs. dark-bley
every time, regardless of the lighting (well, as long as there is some, that
is), and I'm very accurate with light-grey vs. light-bley under flourescent
lighting and pretty good under incandescent (though I always check it against a
reference when I can). Now, I don't have enough experience with reddish-brown
to know how good I am at differentiating them, but I think I'd be pretty
accurate. Of course, I used to sort Rosco gels by eye when I was doing theatre
work in college, so I might have a more developed sense of color than most.
