Color terms

Mark,

although such intruments as ColorPicker are useful for the creation of
websites, they only remain "true" when viewed on the same kind of monitor
that has been identically calibrated.  This is doable, but it is far from
universal.  Printing is a waste of time.

I love my RHS colour chart.  Yes, it was expensive, but I can maintain the
accuracy I desire and I am much more likely to replace my computer monitor
than the colour card!

For myself, the two are apples and oranges,

Ciao,

Jamie V.
