Thank you for the reply. Ok, that is a first point, btw photo is not mine. Anyway ok, if i set -1/3 or -2/3 the color shift is sometimes ( let's say 25% of the times ) less noticeable.

Could you please tell me what values have you used?

Here i have tried for example -30 lum and + 15 contrast, and the result is still much less green and much more cyan than the real one. I am not able to mathematically measure it, unfortunatly, but believe me.

I have seen it too. The strange rectangular table with a shape in the front of the train ( over the left red light ) contains, together with the orange slice, a pure black and a pure white, so yes, it is too blue. 

But balancing color like i often do ( i use curves, picking the near white color, and i put r,g and b channels all the same value, and the same for near black ) still have the "green" problem that is false.

By the way, this strange color cast happens only with trains of this color ( 99% ;) ), all other things have not this problem or at least it is not noticeable.

I have upped 2 more samples: one that has the right green ( http://www.webalice.it/giulio.canevari/tmp/ALe582-zzz-MilanoGrecoPirelli-19052007-IMG_8443.JPG ) and one with the wrong color ( http://www.webalice.it/giulio.canevari/tmp/E655-207-Cicognola-20052007-merci-IMG_8582.JPG ).

Thank you again.
