- Unless your final destination is print, color matching by formula is
- impossible, period. Clients who come from print backgrounds sometimes
- need to be told this. The various "RGB equivalents" for print color
- standards are only valid for specific combinations of software, drivers
- and devices--RGB triples by themselves don't contain enough information
- to define a color in the real world.
