and analyzed it this way:
I calibrated my monitor (EIZO).

I basically had to average these, as eyes-for example-can change tone in different lights, etc. The highlight on the chair was pretty good, though.
I zoomed in on an area that was the best lit, and noticed it did look red. However, I used the color dropper to measure the color (when a neutral color is near green, we see red like these strawberries which are gray):

Further proof can be seen when you lower the cyan in another curves adjustment layer (red is not touched much, look at the skin):

When you look at the pieces, they are true brown now, without the cyan fooling your brain. Yes, there is less saturated color overall, but you get the point...
