title: Why is it that when I use imread () in python to read my image, it shows an image with a slightly different color than my original image?
body: <p>I am wanting to use python OpenCV for image processing. This is my original photo:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4d03u.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4d03u.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>I used the code below to load and show that image:</p>
  <pre><code>path = r&quot;G:\3Y_individualProject\farm_colormap1.jpg&quot;
  colormap1 = cv2.imread(path)
  plt.imshow(colormap1)
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  <p>But it outputs an image of a slightly different color than the original image like this:<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zdsPW.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zdsPW.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>Can someone tell me why there is such a difference? Thank you</p>
