But, not every video card reproduces blue in the same way, let alone every monitor - somewhere I've got an old CRT monitor where blue text was mostly unreadable (_too_dark_). For photo-editing, I now use xgamma to get adequately-consistent results on whichever of 4 machines I'm using (one LCD monitor, with KVM switch) - the settings for the individual machines are very different. And, of course, people have different colour vision (and unless we are labelled as colour-blind, we each regard our colour vision as "normal"). So, what is perfectly acceptable for you on specific hardware may be totally unusable for someone else.
