With more and more LEDs making it into TV studios, we're seeing a lot
of "new" shades of hair color.... the hair color (treated/dyed) react
quite differently than they used to under tungsten and sunlight....
different spectrum spikeys.  I've been watching a local station that
recently unveiled their new news set, which, one of its biggest
improvements, has been the lighting, and possibly the cameras or
lenses as well.  I too have seen different hair colors on the
anchorfolk, and their dresses/suits are literally popping with new
hues.  (Some of which I've seen them wear before.)

Another example of improved lighting: the weather's greenscreen.....
no longer is the weatherdude's glasses (optics and reflective frames)
becoming "transparent," as the glasses reflect the green screen....
Very odd to see terrain on their faces....
