    Tinting Shan Shui art with gemstone colours

    Following on from the sepia post, I replaced the sepia colour with gemstone colours. I used emerald, ruby and sapphire RGB values from Wikipedia. I lowered the brightness of the gemstone colours so they were not to bright when combined with the greyscale image.
