Re: [Digital BW] kinda OT: neutral gray paint code?

2004-06-18 by fnkea

Before I go running off to the paint store, is Munsell N8 the same as
the Munsell neutral 8 that is patch 20 on a MacBeth color checker
card? It looks neutral to me but it's very light, a lot lighter than
my 18% gray cards (which are close to patch 22.)
