Your phone screen doesn’t have the same color range as the human eye – and AI widens the gap between digital images and the real thing

  • Phone screens display only colors within their limited range, converting colors outside that range into displayable ones.
  • Repeated photos with greens compressed to a screen-safe range cause viewers to perceive that limited range as the true green.
  • Photographed leaves often appear muted and unevenly colored, indicating that phones try to adjust for colors they cannot fully display.
  • AI image generators can amplify this color limitation by narrowing color variety over time when trained on earlier model outputs, losing some rare colors.
