we are seeing the picture from a persons perspective who has uncanny color perception in lightsong versus kal who definitely is untrained at the least. So it could stand that the white that kal sees is indeed a tone of crimson that is so dilited hed never notice the difference and that the crimson mixed with blue and black could very much qppear at best an extremely dark reddish purple color so it could qlso be that if he cant distinguish the white from red how would he be able to distinguish the dark red of the canvas from black. My opinion on the sloppiness of the painting can be written off as simply kaladin being used to portraits while in warbreaker the art style is definitely way more of an abstract nature so to him itd look paint was just thrown around
