Ah.... so stylish.

Those leather pants are definitely purple, not black.

Well, to see black, the object must absorb all light and therefore reflect none. If those pants were black, then the purple tinge wouldn't exist at all, unless a really powerful light was shone on it. This can't be the case because the purple light isn't anywhere else on her body. Therefore, in theory, those pants would have to be purple. :P

In an ideal/perfect scenario, yes.

But even black leather pants, particularly shiny/glossy ones like the ones she's wearing, will reflect light, just like a shiny black car will reflect light...

Well, the lights in a photographic studio, as you well know, are quite powerful, so a chromatic distortion of her black leather pants is quite possible.

Also, since you've seen Swing Girls, you'll notice that the girls' winter sailor/school uniforms appear black at times, depending upon the lighting, though it's plainly obvious that they're navy blue...

The plaid in this skirt reminds me of a kilt I used to wear in grade school and the buttons remind me of a pair of Navy pants that I wore when I used to shop at the Army/Navy store. I like the way they fringed the hem of the skirt. Love the boots! Love the whole outfit! :applaud: :D
Thanks bmw! :woot:

Why does Ryoko-chan look so pale in the Sala ads?

The boots look really uncomfortable: they don't look very soft or pliable at all... :sweat:

Pale? I didn't think so... Maybe the lighting/makeup.

I'm not talking about surface quality. I'm taking about science and how information is provide for our eyes. If even the slightest amount of light is reflected, it'll give off the appropriate colour, and therefore change the tint of black to a colour, so purple in this case.

Yea, but in the above case such a strong light (to produce such a strong purple) would also reflect off her flesh and give it a purple tinge. It's because this DOESN'T happen that I assume the pants are in fact more purple than black.
