The camera is a good point, but monitors don't matter because people have checked the RGB values of the image itself. |

I wasn't really talking about how it appears on screen - though that has to be taken on board - but it seems a futile argument as everybody has their monitors calibrated differently I suspect. I tend to think in paint colours because I paint and mix colours in that analogue medium. I think running that image through any kind of colour picker will be meaningless as a definitive answer - to my painter's eye it looks like the very subtle coolness of the yellow is being caused by the greyness of the road/paving beneath it. |

The amount of blue doesn't have anything really to do with how green it is, because green is the G in RGB and it doesn't need any help. The colors are all close in red and green levels, which makes them yellows. It's relevant to the point that I was making (being that even a tiny amount of one colour in another colour can shift the perception of that colour to a surprising degree.) |

Particularly the primary ones - yellow being the most readily effected in my experience. |

There's a Ford Mondeo that drives around Shrewsbury in that colour, with a chequered flag vinyl sticker up each side. It's yellow. |

The only cars that are allowed to be yellow are Ferraris and Lambos. |

The Wood: It's fucking yellow alright? It was yellow when you posted it on your blog. It was yellow when we argued about it then. It's yellow now. Buy a new monitor/laptop. The end. |

This is not a meaningful life. Practicing law, drinking scotch at nine o'clock in the morning. Nine o'clock scotch is meaningful, but practicing law, making money, settling petty disputes... Sigh. |

When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine, and as the houses came by I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank.
