Not Bad for Dormitories

Not Bad for Dormitories

All of the shots of brick from this roll have this interesting color shift; more orange than in real life. Did this come from the orange base of the color negative film? Or the coating on the old lens? My scan matched the commercial print.

it could be the lab did a bad job of colour correction. The orange mask produces a cyan cast in a print if not corrected.
 
Thanks for the info. I was tempted to color correct it; but then I would not have posted it here.

Yes, the Cranbrook Art Academy in Michigan.
 
The color is very engaging none-the-less. At first I thought this a painted black and white shot from about 1940.
 
Most times if you are going to have a colour cast, a warm cast is more acceptable than a cool cast. That said, even though my monitor is iffy when viewing these type of things, I would humbly suggest that it is a yellow cast. I deduced this by looking at the backs of the white blinds in the windows, they do look yellowish, concrete is really very hard to figure out if it's correct or not, so I couldn't use that.

Very interesting picture anyway, what I'm seeing here is a well balanced view.

Mick.
 
Colour looks great to me. It's what I imagine brick to be. Many brick structures are just like colourwise. Terrific detail. You can count the bricks.

I bet not many complain about this lab's colours. I was looking at a colour ring-around in a book. It was of a girl who had ash blond hair with a white cardigan. The yellow cast which gave her honey blond hair and an ivory cardigan looked equally good. It was in many ways a poor example of a yellow cast due to the subject as it looked right. A little yellow in buildings can certainly work.
