Why does the entire picture appear color-shifted when taking selfies with the front camera while wearing a mask?

Question

Accepted Answer

This happens because the system performs specialized algorithmic optimizations based on facial brightness and color. When wearing a mask or sunglasses, part of the face is obscured, which can lead to missing facial information. This missing information interferes with the system’s ability to accurately judge facial features, resulting in potential deviations in brightness or color in certain scenarios. For better selfie results, it is recommended to remove the mask while taking selfies.
