Thanks to Fletch for the link.

IMO the best Pro comment that would work at any level was by Ghost

TIP #13 - USE REAL ELEMENTS WHERE YOU CAN :idea:
The human eye is very sensitive to ‘fake‘ things. However, if you put one small ‘real‘ thing in your shot, like a filmed texture, your eyes accept the rest of the image more easily. For example, for a recent Tuborg beer commercial, we had to simulate beer pouring into invisible containers. But we only had two weeks of production time, and fluid simulation is notoriously difficult to get right. I used a relatively simple RealFlow simulation for the pouring motion, defining the bottle. Then I decided that the only way to make the shot look right was to get something real in there – like filling up a mid-size aquarium with beer and filming it! And that‘s pretty much what we did. The live-action plates were mapped onto the simulated fl uid, and the whole shot was comped together with CG bottles revealing their real counterparts.

Even a spot of primary color in a black and white image will suggest full color to the viewer.
Good people images will do the same thing for NPR renders.

This trick really works magic.
