I did an outdoor engagement portrait once.  Both the bride and groom were
wearing dark sweaters.  In the finished HIE image, one sweater stayed dark
and the other turned light.  I asked them what the fabric content of their
garments were, and one was acrylic while the other was a wool blend.  I
don't remember which was the one that turned light.

It seems that what the fabric is made of is as important as the color!
