that sir, while a worthy goal, is ridiculous.  You're going to rely on
a "basically" one-color sensor (if digital) or some film emulsion,
each of which has their own palette, to guarantee the color you want,
and/or need?

I've worked in digital prepress for over 12 years; color correction in
post processing is a fact of life, and necessary.

I do hope you were joking with your comments.  Otherwise, you've
exposed your severe lack of knowledge on the subject of this thread.
