This one is growing warm. Now, without any special effort it photographed black, the Dracula Raven despite all different angles and lights never did, always a little brown. To the naked eye, both look the same. Does the different photographing characteristic imply that one is darker, more black? Nick

It is so pretty. I haven't seen the Painted Desert since I was a kid.

I am always amazed when I think about the geology of places like the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert and Death Valley. I love your picture....didn't see that we DH and I were there years ago.

The gray is not a huge mistake! You are just being too saturated with your color choices. Think much more subtle, with less chroma. Like the blue of a sky on a foggy day, if you want blue. Or the barely sagey green of a lambs ear plant. Bathrooms are small places. Really saturated colors can overwhelm them easily.
