Color conversion for ambient-adaptive digital content

A computing device, comprising:

• a logic machine;
• and
• a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to:
• while the computing device is in a first real-world environment, receive, from a second computing device, a digital image of a second real-world environment;
• based on ambient lighting information describing ambient lighting conditions of the second real-world environment, generate an ambient lighting-agnostic digital image from the digital image using a capture-side ambient lighting color conversion;
• based on an ambient lighting color temperature of the first real-world environment, generate a lighting-corrected digital image from the ambient lighting-agnostic digital image using a display-side ambient lighting color conversion;
• and
• display the lighting-corrected digital image on a display of the computing device.

A method for digital image color conversion, comprising:

• at a computing device in a first real-world environment, receiving a digital image of a second real-world environment and ambient lighting information describing ambient lighting conditions of the second real-world environment;
• based on the ambient lighting conditions of the second real-world environment, generating an ambient lighting-agnostic digital image from the digital image using a capture-side ambient lighting color conversion;
• based on ambient lighting conditions of the first real-world environment, generating a lighting-corrected digital image from the ambient lighting-agnostic digital image using a display-side ambient lighting color conversion;
• and displaying the lighting-corrected digital image on the computing device.
