Colour tint

[AJR SIMPSON]

In the following photo the light was split by a big cloud and there was a very light pink tinge to the light higher clouds but I couldn't get it to show in lightroom Cc. I added a Grad filter which fave the light pink I wanted and it was fine.
I uploaded it to Flickr and iy took on a purple/mauve tinge, not as bad in full frame but obvious in the standard size. If I look on a smaller device the purple is worse, on my phone it looks like someone poured a can of purple paint on it!.
Is this a compression issue or what might it be?
Cheers

Looks OK on my TV monitor both here and on Flickr.

You're experiencing possibly two effects - the first being whether the applications you're viewing the images in are profile controlled or not (And thus honouring whatever colour profile is attached to the JPG) the second is that every uncalibrated screen is different, and a completely crapshoot as to whether they render things with any consistency.

Thanks Peter, it still looks a bit mauve to me on another laptop. Maybe I'm just fixated on it being that colour!

Thanks but that has confused my little old braincells. I was thinking about a colour calibration set up a few months ago but every monitor/laptop I use seem the same comparing one another in the recent past

Images that have colour profiles attached to them (EG when you save out from PS and select "sRGB Profile") will render differently when loaded into applications that honour the profiles (PS, Firefox) and applications that don't (Windows picture viewer). Depending on how close your monitors native state is to the profile running in windows, the difference can be wild, or barely noticeable. Unprofiled images will display the same everywhere *on your computer* but you've then no way of telling people in the wider world which profile you authored the image with, so they've now way of knowing how to display it correctly (EG you could choose to interpret an image as sRGB or adobeRGB if it's not tagged with a profile, and you won't know which is the correct intention).

Colour profiling tends to be a bit of a dry subject but it's worth digging into, as it can be the cause of a great many headaches.
