Re: [colorvision_group] Coler in the home

2006-03-22 by randy

100% of what I print wind up on walls of peoples homes (wall portraits 
and groups of photos as wall portraits)  all of people.  My computer 
room and mounting work area have phillips (natural sunshine) fluorescent 
bulbs on the ceiling.  5000K  CRI 92 (CRI could be better I know) but 
the work still looks good under it and the price is right. $7 bulb at 
home depot.   My monitor white point is 6500K at gamma 1.8.  I am very 
happy with this arrangement, as well as extremely (HAPPY) with my new 
(SPYDER 2 PRO) Figuring that any home display environment will be warmer 
kelvin wise, which is fine for my work.
