What color are these flowers on your calibrated monitor?

yellow - not calibrated Dell laptop

Yellow and calibrated.

Yellow, and on a terrible uncalibrated TN panel I have here at the office.

Yellow, monitor manually calibrated for prints.

Yellow. Calibrated monitor

If you have Data Color Spyder 4, there is an app for using it to calibrate your iPad.

I tried the original version. Does it still only give a calibrated view when using the Datacolor app?

What color is yellow? Here is a web site that shows RGB values for yellow. http://www.rapidtables​.com …lor/Yellow_Colo​r.htm#code Notice that in all cases the Red and Green are equal. For light yellow they are both 255. For dark yellow, they are still the same but the value drops as the darkness increases.

I looked at the yellows and found the lightest yellow in the closest flower to be 255,250,11. The darker yellow (shaded) is 255,201,2. One of the flowers in the lower left is 254,241,46 and 255,191,0.

In all cases there is a slight to moderate green cast on the flowers on my calibrated monitor. They still look yellow but there is a slight cast.

Thanks. Yellow it is, and supposed to be. That's what it looks like to me on 3 monitors (laptop, IPS calibrated, and one regular flat screen at work). The IPS monitor that I processed these on the brightness is set to 15%.

I printed out 2 copies of this (HP 8750), which came out with an orange look to the flowers. I then sent 2 versions over to Walgreens (ya, ya, I know) to see what theirs would print like.

Well, all the prints look like they have an orange/gold tint/hue to them, both from my printer, and from Walgreens.

Any ideas?

Yeh, it can't get into the OS display control setup, there is no autonomous graphics card whose LUT can be changed; the best it can do is to compensate the display inside the app.

Thanks. I'm not really seeing the green, though (?). If I'm correct, the numbers in the image are pretty much in the yellow grouping. Any idea what would be causing the golden hue in the prints? Or any idea what the numbers for a golden yellow would be?

If everybody is seeing them as yellow, and the numbers show them in the yellow range, then I would think it's either a printer issue, or maybe a setting in my software when it sends it over to the printer?

I had the same happen to me using the HP Photosmart D7360 (either OEM or third party ink) and HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.

That yellow is OOG for my printing setup, I guess. Soft-proofing would confirm this, but to a lesser extent.

Great. At least now I know.

FWIW, the flowers print yellow on my cheap Epson C88+ when printing the dowloaded image using Windows.

Yellow on both my Asus laptop and my Samsung external, both uncalibrated.
