The other of the 2 Reclining-Declining formulas listed in the notes, at the
bottom of the wikipedia Sundial article, likewise gives correct answers.

Additionally, Mayall Mayall's formula (shown in the notes at the bottom
of the wikipedia Sundial article) for the angle between the substyle and
the line for noon, gives the right result for:
Lat = 51.5
Inclination = 45
Declination = 45 degrees left of south
Michael Ossipoff
I should add that the correct result described above, with Mayall
Mayall's formula for the angle between the substyle and the line for noon,
is gotten when the decline-direction (D) is measured from north.
So D is the azimuth that the dial is facing.

So: Say the edge of a distant telephone-pole is due-east from you. Starting
out toward it, you're starting out traveling due eastward. But, after
you've proceeded even a little way, continuing in that same straight line
toward the telephone-pole edge, you'll soon be traveling i

So, the paradox was just the result of two different meanings of "travel

What am I saying??
You don't need the formula for the sun's brightness at different altitudes.
You just need to tip the color-sample card, from the horizontal, toward the
sun by an amount that's equal to the amount by which the summer-solstice
deciination (23.44 degrees?) will be greater than
that is bright enough when the sun is at its
visible lowest at the dial-location, and still isn't too bright at solstice
noon (on a horizontal dial).
I'd bet that some brown or tan would be likely to meet both requirements.
