>>2672520that red is incredibly beautiful in person.
I went to a dye factory? once in china that used considerably older techniques for their materials and holy shit were they amazing looking.
You see these shows and movies were royalty are wearing muted colors and everything around them looks like Quake. It doesn't take a genius to realize that the rich would be surrounded by the most expensive, vibrant, and rare pigments from far away lands.
Most of the materials, dyes, and pigments we have today just... don't compare for some reason. I'm not quite too sure why but it's like looking at an ink jet print of a piece of art vs a screen print done by someone who cares. I guess the pigments penetrate the material or something.
