OK, in that sense no picture is "real". But images that faithfully reproduce the colours of a dim scene can easily be done.
For example: a landscape being illuminated by moonlight.
Not much colour if any, is perceived by eye.
Yet a brief time exposure (using daylight colour temperature, as the moon reflects sunlight!) reveals all the colours you can see during daylight.
(this was a photo category at the Malin awards a while ago)
The time exposure does not bizarrely turn grass purple....which was the point I hoping to simply make.
P.S.
As an example, I've now uploaded an picture I took while ago, at Ayers Rock (or whatever it's called now) which was taken a little after midnight. Yet looks like it was taken at midday. I'll let interested viewers join the dots
