I received this special picture per WhatsApp. It changes its color the first time while downloading and the second time after you tap on it.
It goes from about #ff96e1 to #42000d

(Yes, I know these Thumbnail-Faker but in this case it keeps changing its color even after opening and closing the pic multiple times)

I did not find anything by inspecting it on PC...

Does anyone have an idea how it works?

It seems like it does not work in DevRant. Over here it is a complete different color 😂

Probably some fancy color table magic. I love clever things like this.

@rhein7 Oh! Maybe, it's compression. What fucked up algo do they use at What's app?

Looks like website might be doing something with User Agents.

I found two different images
The pink one has something on the nail.

The color is semi-transparent. It changes from dark or pink depending if your browser renders "full-transparency" as black or white.
Devrants compression probably removes transparency entirely (RGBA -> RGB) therefore becomes red.
The light green version should be since the chatbubble was green.
