Testing Benjamin Moore’s “Personal Color Viewer.”
Comments (4)A lot of people wonder about the visualizers and the swatches you find online in general. It's a really good question. I'm sharing the following because I think it's important to understand the limits of digitized color - virtual color, online color or whatever you wanna call it. The most important thing you need to remember is this: How the paint colors look depends 100% on your device and nothing else. Digital paint colors will look different on each and every monitor, phone, tablet, laptop, etc. The color I see on my computer is not the same as the color you see on yours. Has absolutely nothing to do with color "in" the paint brand's viewers. No effort is made to ensure color accuracy with visualizer programs because the people who design them knows it doesn't matter. Because, again, how you see the paint colors depends on the device your using to view it and nothing else. The color space the visualizers work in is called RGB. In color science terms the RGB color space is ill-defined. Meaning (among other things) that the RGB color space makes no effort to mimic the human visual perception of color - how we see color in real life. Human visual perception is defined by 3 dimensions: hue, value and chroma. The RGB color space lacks TWO of those three; it lacks the dimensions of lightness and chromaticity (colorfulness/grayness). Thus, why the RGB color space is ill-defined. The RGB color space is strictly about lighting up three channels of light (red, green, and blue) to make a bunch of other colors. RGB values don't correlate to paint colors in any way whatsoever. Creating a sense of grayness or color nuance (which is lightness + saturation) digitally in the RGB colors space is very difficult. Because you're trying to "fake" a visual sense of grayness using a combination of red, green and blue channels of light on some kind of a device that is most likely not calibrated properly for displaying color. What all that means is the visualizers, any and all virtual renderings are inspirational at best. No one should mistake online visualizers or swatches for color "tools". The brands that offer a visualizer could be a lot more transparent about how it works, IMO. But the point of the visualizers is not to help the consumer, it's not meant to be a resource for color information. The visualizers are part of a marketing funnel designed to get you in a store to get chips where the staff can sell you paint and supplies....See MoreStuck between Benjamin Moore Pale Oak and Benjamin Moore Classic Gray
Comments (42)Hi - these 2 colours sit increasingly further clockwise on the Color Strategist Wheel, away from Pale Oak. They will likely apoear a a little cooler by comparison. So in your setting, they are somewhat less likely to shift quite as pinky-purple. Sometimes, just moving a few degrees can make a difference, sometimes you may have to move a whole lot further to mitigate colour shift. These are a both a touch darker (lower Value) than Pale Oak + more colourful (higher Chroma). They have the capacity to appear a little greenish where Pale Oak reads well for you. But maybe less likely to do so where Pale Oak looks a little pink/purple. If either is too dark? Then you need a colour with higher Value. If either is too colourful? Then you are looking for a colour with a lower Chroma. If these still read too pinkish? Then moving further clockwise again could help mitigate that. Viewing large paint chips or samples in your space, with your lighting will help indicate how they are likely to behave for you. #huefamilies #value #chroma...See MoreBenjamin Moore 50% off paint sample sale ends tonight: 01/04/2021
