Why do colors from RAW images look different than “raw” colors in real life?

641 views

Colors from RAW images look different than “raw” colors in real life and somehow… “ugly”. Of course these files needs post-processing so the colors of those will be better and life-like, but I think there is something about the camera, the sensor… so that RAW files look like that.

I’m looking forward to reading interesting explanations from you guys!

Your monitor/phone/whatever is not 100% color accurate nor is it likely you even have it tuned to be as accurate as it could be even if it was. Your eyes are also not the same as a camera, there is a large difference between how your eye and brain handle light and color and how a camera and a computer reproduce those things for you.
