Re: Washed-out color?

Hello,

I created several images using a light, bright green color: R=153, G=204,
B=0. The color looked perfect at the time but recently it looks gray with
a slight tint of green. It appears as if I have lost the original color.

The loss of color appears to be system-wide, showing up in Power Point,
Word, Photoshop, etc. I checked the drivers for my monitor and graphics
card but there does not seem to be a better choice. It is now using the
Microsoft default drivers for both. The color seems to be OK in general
and is only noticeable with specific RGB inspection.

The color was produced on this system and looked fine at the time. This is
an older system: Athlon 2500+ (1.8 gigs), Radeon 9600 (128 mb), 512 mb
RAM, Sony 500PS monitor, XP Pro SP2.

Can anyone suggest what might be doing this and what I might try to
correct it?

Thanks,

Bob
Hi,

The colour is quite a bright light green on my screen, which I have just
calibrated and profiled this afternoon.

I think your screen must be way off.

Have a look at

which has some colour test patches and a grey step scale.
