It took half an hour of experimenting to get it to where it passed a five foot test. And I'm no ignoramus regarding colors. I know how to operate a color wheel! I did that trying to match ceiling paint. I knew the maker; I knew the color name, but the can I bought was nowhere near the color on the ceiling. It might have been at one time, but after 15 years of light exposure, the new paint was way too dark. I ended up with another manufacturer's color. The chip was practically a perfect match. As applied, it matches if you look at it from one direction, but not another -- which probably means the sheen is slightly off. It's a big ceiling and I didn't feel like painting the whole thing. BTW, our green bike crossings used to be blue, and they are still blue in some places. I find blue much safer than green. Green is like, "oh, its a pasture" People dream of picking daisies, picnics, etc. Blue is more serious -- like cop car lights. For some reason -- I suppose to be super safe -- they sliced up the green bike lane crossing the I-5 on-ramp near my house. It is now striped. Grinding off the thermoplastic to create the stripe made the crossing into a rumble-strip. I find that bouncing over ground-down green stripes is super safe.. http://tinyurl.com/hzs9rnh It makes me feel better about riding my bike. -- Jay Beattie. |

Regarding 'official color charts', who decides what is a color match to an official color chip? Other way round, Andrew. Munsell, CIE and so on, define the color theoretically and then finds a natural match to it. The commercial system in use by printers and large corporations, Pantone, relates this theoretical system to what can be achieved with four inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, plus Black, shorthanded CMYK, sometimes with other difficult or impossible to mix colours known as "block colors"), and various RGB systems for television screens, all of it working through individual pixels that the eye interprets as greys, shades, tones and tints. If I add a homeopathic level of black into a fifty gallon drum of white, is it white or off-white? Depends. In reprographics, and the fine arts as well, we get around the problem by assigning a percentage value to the tone. *Yrey* is 50% of nlack and white each, also sometimes in typography ("graphic design" to the hoi polloi) called "a neutral". A *tone* is some variable percentage of each of black and white, a *shade* some colour added to black only (in practice, as you no doubt know, you add the black in small parts to the color), a *tint* is some colour added to white. At what level is it not a match? A match to what? Something you already have? Then you put a color meter on it, and sometimes a densitometer, depending on what it is you're reproducing and how close the match must be on hoe many parameters, many of which do not have meters or scientific tests, only experienced judgement. (I do color matches regularly and even when customers are completely happy I can often see variance of hue or in the case of metallics, of depth or grain.) Uh-huh It's highly probable that after years of experience your eye will come as close as some recent graduate in a white coat can come even with a hundred grands' worth of equipment. You just learn to live with such imprecision. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 What was i just saying about years of experience? There's a general introduction to these matters in Andre Jute: Publications for Professional Communicators (Batsford, London, 1994) and an overview of the field for more expert practitioners in Andre Jute: Colour for Professional Communicators (Batsford, London, 1993). Other books in the same series (Graphic Design in the Computer Age, General Editor Andre Jute http://coolmainpress.com/andrejuteGDitCA.html ) also touch on various topics in color relevant to their particular subjects. Also, much more expert notes passim in Andre Jute: GRIDS the Structure of Graphic Design (Rotovision, Geneva, 1996).

(I do color matches regularly and even when customers are completely happy I can often see variance of hue or in the case of metallics, of depth or grain.) I've always wondered how this "color matching" was done. I got a fender straightened on my Isuzu pickup - say 15 years old, never been garaged, the shop took off the R.H. side mirror and it had what appeared to be original paint inside where the mirror fitted up against the door. Handed to mirror to a guy on a motorcycle and he roared off. Two days later I pick the truck up and Damn! You can't see where the fender was repaired. (I've always suspected help from Spirits) -- cheers, John B. |

One would think that a really, really, adroit advocate would be able to not only convince the wife that selecting the color properly was best done by the Wife but the actual applying of the paint had a beneficial effect on girth and weight, and thus logically would be of greatest benefit to the distaff side of the family. I can see this as really great advertisement in the Yellow Pages. "I convinced my wife to paint the ceiling!" -- cheers, John B. |
