this is a test
of my memory
of the color balance of my monitor
the color balance of yours
and your memory

what is this?

i hope you answered an yves klein blue painting (because that's what it is)

so, for all of those who would like to participate
let me know what you see...
was it obvious?
is it too red?
too yellow?
not even close?

(here it is at the tate, how did they do?)

we won't know anything about the answers to the questions above in a definitive way, but we will in a relative way

and, if bruce says it's too red and fernando says too yellow, how are they seeing each other's images...

ok, silly i know
but it's my little way of sharing what really struck me today

hi neene,
ok, i'm trying to check my computer's palette...
have never thought about that, i took for granted that computers pallets were plainly equals since belonging to the same trade mark...
couldn't imagine they could be different in these ratings...wow...
and if someone is now seeing my skies is yellows or greens ?

come and see how close i am....
or better, a june sky is of a YKB 79
kiss

i'm not much of a color-management fanatic, but if this is off by more than 5CCY (there's a color system that dates me, eh?) I can't see it.

I don't see Yves. To me it is to dark, the radiance of Klein's color isn't in it.

pure blue, klein blue for sure!

my favourite tint b.t.w.

on my screen at work (calibrated for litho printing) pure delicious zingy Klein blue - on my laptop at home a little too pale!

& what a good idea Joanna had - come to London & see for yourself!

yk is darker, and less yellow than this (as i see it in my monitor...) and i don't like the smell of it, sort of burning rubber, don't you think?
