  • Grey? Blue? Purple? It can look different, depending on the context. Let's talk about color perception, color temperature, and the history of laundry.

    Fun fact: it also works with paper. The regular printing paper is slightly blue to appear "extra white". That's why when you're buying paper to make your own book, it's better to buy cream paper (slightly orange), or pearl paper (slightly grey) as it appears more natural for a book than bright white/slightly blue.

    I think a good way to experience this, is by sitting inside a (probably children') tent, with a neon colour - such that on the inside, everything has a hue of that colour. Sit inside for half an hour or so and you'll feel how that colour is kind of missing when you step outside - as if it's greyed out - but your brain quickly re-adjusts.
    However, if you've additionally had the horrid experience of being really sick inside one and had to stay inside for an entire day, your brain gets really confused when you step outside. It's a really weird experience - but you become extremely self-aware of how your brain interprets colours. I'd compare it to when you've been inside a cooled car for hours, only to step out into high heat - that weird minute or two where your body re-adjusts: It's like that, but with the brain.
    (This experience was also my inspiration to become a web designer)

    I work for a company that dyes yarn. I also do product photography for our website.
    This exact issue is something I struggle with every day. I will edit the photos and then check them on multiple screens that have each been calibrated differently before publishing any of the photos to our website.
    While this is not exactly the best way of doing it, and it is not necessarily the most color accurate method, I've found that if I get the colors looking good enough across multiple screens, customers will not be upset with the color accuracy of our website.
    Of course we also have a disclaimer on our website, that says that the final product may differ from what they see on screen due to not only the differences in screens but in the differences in dye lots.

    As far as I know from my training as a laboratory paint assistant and chemical coatings engineer the companys are adding a bit of blue dyes because the most common white pigment Titandioxide (TiO2) absorbs slightly light in the blue wavelength region. Therefore the neat TiO2 looks very slightly yellow. Adding a blue dye copensates this effect and for us it appears more "white". (:

    That hoodie isn't just grey, it's heather grey, which means that depending on the precision of the colour sensor you're using, the heather pattern might get a different result from different positions on the fabric. That might be why you got "amethyst sky". Another millimetre over, and you might get something very different.

    While laundry bluing might not exist anymore, detergent companies add optical brighteners to their products. They absorb UV and emit blue to achieve the same illusion of 'cleaner' clothes.

      Color Science is a deep deep rabithole that is maddening, I just have a spectrometer and colorimeter to keep the colors consistent between my monitors, don't want to go down that rabithole. Taran van hemert has a decent video series on color, far from complete but a good look down the rabithole.
