Thanks to everyone I hoipe I haven't missed any
one out below.
This whole episode has proved really valuable,
especially if colour setting is sometimes part of what you do.
I had heard of people complaining that the
colour schemes in applications developers had done for them were just a little
odd, I'd never given a lot of thought to it just thinking it was just a
windows theme clash problem. But if a developer sees, say, teal as a more
blue looking colour on his screen, he might not realise that some end users will
see something more green.
I now wonder of it is an area that developers
who are not into graphics development themselves as well, might be
over-looking or not aware of? There's a fellow across the room from me who
normally picks me up on colour, but he's on the same primary screen so
this slipped past him as well! We're firing up an old CRT monitor to go over
things.
So I s'pose when you are buying, its a matter
of taking an on-disk html 1536 colour chart file with
you! Neven MacEwan: I've got a Philips 15" LCD (150P) and its almost invisible to me to I
could only track it where it crossed other lines
It was interesting to hear of a simillar
Phillips LCD that behaves in a simillar way.
Nahum Wild suggested: You
might have the incorrect color profile installed?
I have had the Phillips colour
profile Ph_LCD15 on board since I put the screen on, I had hoped it would
handle all of this stuff.
Is there a better Phillips profile
for these screens that anyone has heard of ?
Last time I rang the Phillips call centre up
north here, it had been farmed out ( "out sourced" -i.e. you no
longer get Phillip's excellant staff and technical people - one of the reasons
we had bought Phillips) and (when we finally got through - that was a major
problem) those new centre people don't seem to know
anything.
And also Nahum Wild suggested: If you want to get real clever you can get a ICM color profile
generator device.
That is an excellant idea we intend to look
in it, never heard of it before!
Mike suggested some colour charts
I had the 1536 chart already downloaded and
had often wondered why so many colour groups looked simillar, until now I had
not realised that other screens would show the distinctions clearly. The
following groups within themselves all look the same or indistinguishible on my
Phillips 150 B4 LCD. I'll only do a few. The Bold ones are said to be web safe and should definetly look different
within their group, on any ones reasonible colour screen.
And no, I have never tested as colour
blind!
Thanks
