Thanks, Larry. I wish I were that clever! No, this is just a shamelessly manipulated photo of dark red beads. To see the original from which it was taken, check one of my store window galleries:

Then you'll see something much closer to the original colors. There the photo processing was done just to compensate for the reflections from the outside of the window.
