I think it is the settings sued during photography. One is very saturated and one isn't.

I don't think it is the screen.

It's a paler blueish green on the left. It's a darker yellowish green on the right. I like the one on the left better. The right is that Martha Stewart green like an old hospital.

The one on the right has more yellow. The left one is cooler.

The sink is on the back wall, cook top is on the left, microwave in the island, and fridge units are on the right. I can't figure out where the ovens are. It looks like there's an open space in the island, facing the sink, but that doesn't make sense. Maybe the ovens are closer to the camera, on the left, and we just can't see them?

I hate when the sink and the cooktop are separated. The space in between is always the main prep space, and having it disconnected from the sink means you have to carry everything over the floor and it means you can’t just scrape all the mess into the sink.

The right picture is entirely brighter and the colors are more saturated than the picture on the left. I don’t know if it is the same color but I would not choose based on these comparisons.

I love the fray-green color on the left. I'd be super pissed if I ended up with the green on the right.

Definitely a difference. The left is a nice neutral sage green, the right is straight out of the 70s puke avocado green.

I have a fairly popular instagram account and people ask for my paint colors all the time. I used to try to explain that screens and different cameras show the colors differently, but I gave up. I just give the the color now. If they are going to paint a room without sampling, that's on them!

I like the phone picture better of the ones in the first post. Interesting, since you'd think the professional camera is giving the true color. I also wonder if the designer used a filter? So many novice instagrammers over-expose and blow out their photos, thinking it looks better. Sometimes it does, but not always.

Never choose paint colors from photos.

Look at the difference in the chairs, too, and the stained glass over the door.

Not at all, first is way more neutral. I see its the same kitchen but the saturation on second photo is so high even the chair legs and upholstery are vibrant.

The green in the picture on the right is much brighter than the left.

This is kind of strange, but I thought I'd share it. I was looking at a designer's instagram on my computer instead of my phone this morning and the color she used on some kitchen cabinets looked different between a photo she took with her phone (left) and a professional photographer's photo (right).

On top of that, I have a two-screen set up at my desk and the difference in the colors gets more dramatic when I move the browser window to my new, stand-alone monitor. On my laptop, both pictures show a soft-sage green, though the phone picture is a touch blue. On my monitor, the phone picture is sage and the pro picture is a bright, grass green.

They tell you that monitors make colors look different and not to pick paint based on internet photos, but my new monitor really drove the point home. I'm curious if you're seeing a subtle difference or a dramatic one with your screens.
