Over the past few months, I've been running processing variations through M.I.T.'s Large Scale Image Memorability project demo. I almost hate to admit it, but I consistently agree with LaMem's relative ranking. In general, full color scores higher than B&W, but there are surprises, like the sepia wash version here.
