Back in the early 90s I worked for a Mac company that made graphics cards for the publishing industry - color correction was a big deal (print magazines have/had 'white rooms' rooms with known color temperature where they looked at photos).
Marketing really wanted a game winning solution. One thing I learned - no two sets of eyes are the same - at an extreme 10% of the male population are red-green color blind but in reality we're just not all the same - there is just no perfect color matching solution
- guenthert 4y agoI wonder how important relatively speaking the individual differences (outside the extremes of color-blindness) are, compared to the fact that the customers are simply not sitting in such 'white rooms'.
- Taniwha 4y agowell the whole point of trying to produce color corrected monitors was to avoid the whole process of printing things out and looking at them in white rooms as desktop publishing started to become a thing - high end publishers were (are?) very sensitive to their color fidelity, compelling color is very much part of what draws in their readers
- strogonoff 4y agoNo two sets of eyes (which includes retinas plus all the processing that converts the input into internal scene representation) are the same. This is especially frustrating with photography. No two people see a single scene the same way; the best you can do is take raw data and interpret it into the tiny, tiny display space the way you think best describes the scene. Yet do many think that the blandest possible JPEG render is the reference truth of what reality is actually like.
