color-problem with imread and image

picture = imread('pict.jpg')
image(picture)

Not sure what your edit was, but with what I see now, my answer below still stands.

@Merijn Vangilbergen: you have an indexed image. You should read these:

The answer is unclear to me, Can someone clarify?

@Omer Al Sumeri, sure. Just start a new thread and attach your indexed image file. There, show us a screenshot of what you're getting when you use my answer from below

[indexedImage, cmap] = imread('Charizard.jpg.png');
imshow(indexedImage, cmap);

It's an indexed image. Get the second output of imread(), which you are not asking for now. It will be the color map. Then apply it with the colornap() function.

[indexedImage, cmap] = imread('Charizard.jpg.png');
imshow(indexedImage, cmap);

Glad this fixed it for you. If you're done, you can "Accept" the answer.
