Your not. I am purposely underexposing / overexposing images in color, in steps.... -1, -2,... +1, +2 etc... Then I convert to black and white and look at luminosity variances. When I find one that I prefer, then I go with it in color. Really experimenting... @smoke665, I am looking at luminance, using a the camera meter, hand held meter, journal, software, etc.

Essentially a luminosity mask without the benefits of multiple separation within highlights, midtones, and shadows.
