Dear Bill:
The gills on Matan's Chromodoris are green [message #14975]. The ones on the animal of message #9457 are a typical orange. Can you please comment ?
Regards.

Dear Kamal,
I am pretty sure the greenish colour is not 'real'. It's either something to do with the depth the animal was photographed at or more likely something to do with the 3 colour RGB format we use to display images. A slight imbalance in either the Cyan-Red or Magenta-Green scales can lead to a greenish tinge like this. I sometimes do a global rebalance of colours in images which are clearly in need of help, but usually don't interfere with images in case I get it wrong.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
