once worked for Crosfield electronics I know how hard it is to set up a computer monitor of any sort to give true cpolour renditions. You need some clever software and massive 3 dimensional look up tables...and then people still sya it isnt right...

But there is no excuse for getting pageant darker than tahiti and jasmine to look more like that curry vomit sandglow colour, when its more like postit note and softer than mimosa. Inca is also more banana than that, in fact it looks too similar to saffron, which is virtually pale orange and a shade lighter than topaz.
Also Mallard isnt green enough.

Good idea though....

Jonners, just out of interest is that the same Crosfield Electronics that got taken over by De La Rue? I work at a De La Rue company at the moment.
