The camera doesn't always capture the truth. I was changing the numbering system of my camera and I took a test shot of my dimly lit clothes closet. The original scene was dark with a green plaid shirt visible in the middle. The 18% exposure jpg was bright with colors and looked much better than the real scene thru my eyes.
In another incident:
I took some pictures of a purple magenta sky at day break. When looking back over these images the jpgs looked too colorful to me. (the RAW files all looked dull)Since it was a while back I couldn't remember what I thought the original scene looked like. The old adage jumped into my mind close down 1/3 of a stop to "underexpose" the slide film for the best color. Now I don't know whether these day break jpg images represents the real color or not.

Gregory,
yup … there were just lying there. Trouble is that right now I can’t remember where I saw them.
I’m “always” looking for stone afoot as it is a “theme” that I have used over the last few years as the
“cover” image of the Facebook site of PhotoForum. Replacing as I find new ones.
In case you are interested I uploaded the original, unmodified other than size, at this location:
