Exactly. There is probably a little bit of Red in the dye used in the jacket which, when placed under a light (often Blue with a hint of Red) appears as Burgundy.

Different materials do react differently to light. Heavy knit wool will behave very differently than a tightly woven synthetic. So in answer to your question, yes, the material must be considered along with the palette.

I’ve always wondered why a black suit coat or tux under certain light appears to be almost a burgundy color. I don’t understand a lot of this post, but I think it has to do with the subject at hand, no?

It seems, from my lay experience, to be affected to greater or lesser degrees by the material, too. For example, the lapels of a tux jacket (usually a shinier, glossier material) sometimes have the color effect more magnified. With that in mind, do you ever have to take into consideration not only the color of your costume designer collaborator’s choice, but also the material being used?

Thank you for your kind words.

To be perfectly honest I would love to teach. Trouble is, that job market is about as glutted as any other in this country. But if you know any Universities that are hiring I am all ears.

you explained this really well, even i who is a bit colour-blind got it.

you frequently mention the feast or famine nature of your work. is it possible that you could even out some of the troughs by teaching? you clearly have a really good command of your subject(s) and a talent for expressing the relevant bits succinctly
