OK - I knew that the RHS Color Chart was out of reach by price.
I was asking another question.
Wouldn't a standardized color card included in a photo help one to know the
actual color of the item being photographed??? You could put your standard
card next to the one in the picture or print and see if the color was the
same.
Now I have another question. Since the RHS charts are so expensive, isn't
there some other chart that could be substituted? Doesn't the printing or
graphics industry or the paint industry or someone have a fairly universal
substitute that could be used?? Why just say the RHS chart is too expensive
and give up? You wouldn't have to have EVERY color.
