I just thought it'd expand all of our imaginations to analyze the hueshifting going on in there, so I just grabbed a few pics off the first hubble gallery page I could find and pasted em here.

 absolutley adore how it looks like it's made of energy but doesnt feel the least vaporous at all, completly solid yet made out of energy

not to be a bitch, but im not sure this falls under the category of what we call hueshifting, i think of that as being using different hues in different areas of an object that blend to create a believeable color and texture, for example, using sienna, sage, lavender, and beige to create a freckled face where this is more like using using colors to make......well, those same colors.  its very cool photos, but im not really sure of the relevence?
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

hue shifting is just an apparent varience in color, as I understand it. These gas clouds are quite nice and show a neat display of hue and value and such.
The nature of light can be quite amazing when shined through variable substances.

I don't know what there is to learn about "hue-shifting" here though that you can't get from playing with paint and whatever since the natural rules of light exist everywhere.

the first picture has a nice mix of blues and browns.

the second one has a nice blue and red glow on a brown-ish gas cloud. The red seesm to light up the inside while the blue stars give a hazey blue tone to the outside and a purple blend between.

The third one is nice, it has alot of neutral hue space. The orange and blue are complimentary colors and the greys help bridge them together.

The forth one has a nice wispy effect. it uses soft tones of pink and green which I dont find too pleasing in my opinion.

The fifth one has a wider array of hues. blues, reds, yellows, greens, and browns.. I find this one most interesting so far in terms of hues.

The sixth one is an interesting scene. Kinda resembles two jelly-fish both in form and color.

The seventh one has a nice range of hues. The yellow greens and oranges are nice, and the bluew goe sto a grey and then towards the lime green. The violet colors are present mostly around the browns.

Here Camus is probably hoping to teach us that hue-shifting isn't just a property of our little pixel-art microcosm. Thanks, Camus, you've educated us.

O.o someone is being sarcastic.

I just thought it'd be nice discussion with the way lighting works in these hulking formations

when we came up with the term, I cant say for sure who made it up but I do remember I was preaching about this way before anyone else, way before we found ut about GFXzone.....it was just shifting hues as you went up in the ligthness, not really related to what kind of object you were working on..

I just love the pictures. Especially the ones where there are cancerous black nebulas in front of lighter ones, such as http://heritage.stsci.edu/2002/01/index.html - they're just breathtaking.

Hmm, i thought the colours were added after the picture was taken so it was easier to view. Maybe i'm terribly mistaken.

Awesome pictures though.

I study astronomy, and the colors werent added after.  The hue shifts occur due to various substances separarting white light into the spectrum and only showing the dominant colors.  The colors we see are down to the human eye.  The colors created in space can also be caused by magnetism from the van allen belts - also known as Aurora (northern and southern lights).  You can view these even from earth without a telescope.  Trying to pixel these nebulae and aurorae would be quite fun - think of the pallettes.   :P

There is some rather cool hueshifting going on on this bun as well, pretty rad.

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

I think the value-shifting is greater than the hue-shifting in that pic, but it is kinda interesting.
