Default Colour Chart

I took an image of a colour chart - in the shade no less - and did what I could to make the #19 as pure a white as my system will allow without a colour cast.

In the end, I think the chart came out very clean - even if the outside borders are still a tad pale blue due to the shade.

Allowance has to be made for everyone's monitor and how it reproduces colours on a subject like this.

Here is a variation of the theme using the GRAY SCALE & VALUE FINDER.

I worked up the white patch (upper left in the scale) to as accurate a tone as my system will allow. This one works very accurately as well.

For those who like more colours to compare, I did an image using the white patch on the COLOUR WHEEL as my basis.

Working in the shade, I like how the colours came out rather than in the sun.
