What color are these flowers on your calibrated monitor?

yellow, well saturated, calibrated monitor.

So does it make sense that the yellow we are all seeing is out of gamut for my printer, and whatever it is they use at Walgreens?

I held up all the prints (5) next to the actual flowers, and the prints are definitely gold-er then the flowers.

Is there a test color chart that is wide gamut, so you can see where you printer is lacking?

Yellow, calibrated.

+1.

Yellow on my uncallibrated Dell monitor, slight greenish tint on my uncalibrated notebook screen (which has a terrible blue cast that i cant seem to fix), and an ever so slight orangish tint when printed on my canon budget printer with cheap CIS ink and cheap photo paper. I have actually been getting slight orange hues with yellows in my prints but my printer is not using any IC profiles, i calibrate it with my eyes so its far from accurate.

At gamut edge I don't expect full color reliability. I proof print (i.e. blow an A4 sheet of my best paper ) and adjust the picture file on that basis.

This target will reveal the problem ... once you know where to look and how critically.

Everyone is going to say yellow. I don't see the point of this. I get what you are asking, but color is relative to what we see with our OWN eyes. Your yellow may look different to me or to someone else, but unless my monitor is right next to yours, there is NO way to compare... lol

Thanks for that incredibly useful and insightful post! Keep up the good work!

Thanks. I'll print it out tonight. I'm guessing it will show me where I'm OOG?

I forgot to mention that my monitor IS calibrated... That may be useful

Yes, the yellow issue should be visible in the sunflower, although easily overlooked in such a small, isolated item.

Don't care about the patches top centre, next to the picture title: they are said to be OOG for most printers.

Please note that the test image's color space is Adobe RGB.

Yellow & calibrated.
