Cyan Colored Glasses - Schoep Now Wears Neon Contacts

This might seem to be a petty thing to do, but it's reportable and document able and thus will be posted here. I was made aware that Schoep wears neon contact lenses, that his eyes are not truly blue, it's an interesting assertion so I decided to investigate and report what I could.

Using comparative computer analysis and good ol' fashioned guts I went searching for a series of pictures in which the face could be clearly seen. Take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself.

Cursory examination reveals nothing: color values are a mixed mean of R:79 G:45 B:53 no chromatic variations based upon outside edge examination.

Again the cursory examination shows a natural blend of RGB values on the outside where contact definition is usually shown. Compare the first picture where there is a defined outline. You'll see none of that in this picture either. Mixed mean values are R: 102 G: 78 B:85 within the same scale as the prior RGB values (~20 value points.)

This last image is from a more recent public activity and you can see the defined change in the visual color index in the eyes. Additionally, a purely visual inspection shows that on the left side (the subject's right eye) and the lens break is visible, and from a downward angle, fairly obvious.
The RGB values now are sharply defined by less red and green, and more emphasis of cyan. The values are: R:52 G:102 B: 148 the variation is +42.6%, the drop in combined values for features normally accorded to brown has dropped -16.9% (both percentages rounded up)

The variation between the chroma edge (the bottom of the eye) versus the surrounding values is as follows: R: 113 G:53 B: 64 which is far closer to the original values, variations of brown hues a drop of only -8.3% and a difference in cyan values of -3.2%, more closely aligned with the original. Take into consideration the first picture in this post, which is taken from a commercial neon contact lens company:

The values are also very similar to the ones exhibited by the lenses worn by Schoep. The variation between outside edge and interior edge is a difference of only 3.2% when compared against the images of Schoep.



Take it as you will, I view it as personality deception, and presentation of persona which is entirely dishonest for his own personal gain. It could be advertising, but plenty of Aryan men didn't have blue eyes and were reasonable patriots. Schoep is none of those things; petty deception is the NSM's favorite parlor games.
