Interesting how some colors are so close from each other, especially "Chartreuse" and "Lawngreen" (on my middle-end monitors, at least).

- iakov 4y agoSame for me, and the "springgreen"/"mediumspringgreen" are practically the same color on my screen. I'm wondering what was the reason the original spec included those colors. Were CRT monitors of old that much better?
- moron4hire 4y agoI used to know a lot of digital photographers who clung to their CRTs for a long time after LCDs became common. You could get LCDs with better color reproduction, but they were extremely expensive, especially compared to the fact that you could barely even get rid of CRTs (and all of the photographers I knew were constantly cash-strapped from all the photography kit they compulsively purchased). It's gotten better, your run-of-the-mill low-end LCD these days isn't that bad, and better ones aren't that much more expensive anymore. But yes, there was a long time when CRTs outperformed LCDs on this one metric.
