Which brand of faucet do you think is good value?
Comments (44)Be sure to get PVD finish on all your faucets! I have polished brass with PVD finish, and it is still gorgeous after 15 years. They come in every finish! http://www.calfaucets.com/finishes/power-of-pvd This is from Ca Faucets website: What exactly is PVD? PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) uses a state-of-the-art process that molecularly bonds the finish to the faucet, creating a super-hard surface that is by far the most durable available today. Products with a PVD finish will not corrode, discolor, or tarnish. Even high wear and tear items like handles or pop-up drains. These cutting edge finishes are so effective, we guarantee them for life against tarnishing, PVD has proven resistant to over 100 cleaning products and can withstand many harsh environmental factors such as salt air and hard water....See MoreStarCraft 2015 Picks: Best Faucet Value

Comments (34)I love My Perfect Color for a lot of things but their Hue, Saturation and Lightness slider feature is not one of them. HSL isn't the right right color space to do what you're trying to do. Because HSL doesn't model color attributes. In other words, HSL doesn't quantify how humans see color. HSL is a derivative - or transformation - of the RGB color space. The RGB color space and transformation from it like HSL apply to computer graphics ONLY. Their purpose is to instruct red, green and blue phosphors on a device how to light up in order to mimic in real life color. But that's the only connection to in real life color and it's the reason why many - on this forum in particular - believe that you can use RGB or HSL values to define and describe how paint colors look in real life. That's not what RGB and HSL values are for and using them to define and describe color appearance is wrong, that's no what they do. The ONLY color notations and data values that DO define and describe how the human eye sees color are: Hue Value Chroma LRV LCh CIELAB XYZ Yxy A quick Google search will verify all of the above. Here's two of the easier to understand sources that speaks to HSL specifically and why no one uses it for anything. _____ Let’s take a step back and list a few things you should not do with HSL: · Find contrast between two colors · Find complementary colors · Adjust the lightness of an image · Adjust the saturation of an image · Shift the hue of an image In summary, HSL sucks. The reason it sucks is its simplicity, this is also the reason it grew popular in the 70s, when a more sophisticated model would have been too computationally expensive. Source: Alexei Boronine, Color Spaces for Human Beings, May 2012 _____ Next let us examine some of the RGB transformation spaces. Two of the most common are called HSL and HSV. These spaces have been developed for computer graphics applications as simple transformations from RGB color spaces with dimensions that approximate appearance attributes. HSL stand for hue-saturation-lightness and can be visualized as a bi-cone with black at a point at the bottom, white at a point at the top, and highly saturated colors around the perimeter in between. HSV stands for hue, saturation, and value and can be visualized as a cone with black at the bottom and satruated "bright" colors at the top. Both spaces are designed as simple transformations from RGB and are therefore ill-defined since RGB is ill-defined. Even with a good definition of RGB, such as sRGB, these spaces have little perceptual meaning. They make no attempt to model visual perception and do not use the definitions of the perceptual attributes accurately or consistently. Other similarly defined spaces exist. The moral? When using RGB spaces, know what they are and their transform to CIE XYZ in order to fluidly move among them. With regard to spaces like HSL, beyond being ill-defined, they can really be avoided since real color spaces are now easy to implement and use. Source: Handbook of Color Psychology Andrew J.
