Query. The colors (apparently taken from a copy of the image on a Russian auction site) are quite different from the official French government version — more saturated and pleasing to a modern web-viewing eye but maybe artificially so. Do we have a reason for believing that this more saturated version is more true to the original? (For a similar case see e.g. the ongoing Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Oedipus and the Sphinx) —David Eppstein (talk) 19:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you're right and the French government one is much more accurate. Withdraw Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.5% of all FPs} 21:05, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
