I recently had the amazing experience of seeing a total solar eclipse. 🌒 It's hard to put into words just how incredible it was! Dusk at 3 in the afternoon was nothing short of enchanting, as was the symphony of frogs that began, and a noticeable 10-degree temperature drop.

But what blew me away the most was seeing what looked like real-time RGB colors swirling around me—it felt like pure magic. And maybe a little bit of science-y polarizing light happening. 😉

In the world of prints, we often talk about CMYK, the color scheme used for printing postcards and business cards, derived from pigment mixing and light reflection perceived by our eyes. On the other hand, RGB represents the spectrum of light passing through colors, the essence of computer screens, TVs, digital media, and the IRL phenomenon of a rainbow, but mostly RGB is a brighter color experience.

Trying to capture that moment in a photo just didn't cut it. The camera could only catch the light bouncing off surfaces, but in reality, everything looked so much brighter and more vibrant especially the reds and greens. Using Photoshop I created a mere sample of what it looked like, but nothing could beat the in-person experience.

If you ever get the chance to see a total solar eclipse, don't even think twice—just go for it! And if you're looking for a future eclipse to mark on your calendar, Iceland in August 2026 is where it's at.
