Comment – The color correction on Earth looks appropriate but @Earthsound: can you speak to the color changes in the Moon? Did you go back to the film original source or correct the NASA version? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 07:59, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – All versions I've seen printed on paper have had a brownish tint to the moon. OTOH, the astronauts described the surface as grey. Now, in the candidate the moon is slightly bueish (~5-10 higher in B channel), and there is even a slight cyan cast in some of the craters (R channel ~10 lower than G abd B), carried over from the original. How can we know what's right? (Looking at the moon from earth won't help much due to atmospheric filtration...) --Janke | Talk 09:39, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- They're just the same material as in Commons:Category:Lunar samples, under direct sunlight. So they should be roughly the same color as that. Alternatively, what color is the full moon as seen from earth at zenith (when least colored by the atmosphere)? —David Eppstein (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – There are few print issues that don't exist on, or were removed from, the NASA version, mostly visible on the moon's surface - the most obvious are a long mark on the rightmost crater, and a few blotches to the right of the pair of craters to the right of this - I wonder if these could be addressed? I'm also feeling instinctively a little uncomfortable about featuring an image that differs so much in coloration from the official published NASA versions - are there WP:OR issues?— Preceding unsigned comment added by TSP (talk • contribs) 12:28, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus to delist the image, and it's still used directly in 19 articles. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 06:45, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
