Colour cast


A colour cast is a tint of a particular colour, usually unwanted, which affects the whole, or portion, of a photographic image evenly.
Certain types of light can cause film and digital cameras to have a colour cast. Illuminating a subject with light sources of different colour temperatures will usually cause colour cast problems in the shadows. In general, the human eye does not notice the unnatural colour, because our eyes and brains adjust and compensate for different types of light in ways that cameras cannot.
