Whitefriars production colours
David E:
The only suggestion is to have a photo of each example (a backlit swatch would be good) to accompany the chart. Does Peter O have these? I'll give you a hand to create the HTML if you want.
vidrioguapo:
Thanks Max -yes it was a bit time consuming!
David, the colour chart was put on there by Peter O, I would think that there are too many colours to be able to do that bearing in mind site space or whatever it is called. It's a fantastic idea ...but I think in practice may not be possible. Also in my experience it is SO difficult to get real colour representation and the real recognition of colour is only possible by seeing and handling the goods...too many colours are too similar. Thank you for your offer, maybe Peter O will take you up on it. Emmi
Anne:
Emmi, thank you, that is really useful. Well done you. :)
I do agree with David's suggestion of examples as well... I'm sure a lot of us have pieces we'd be prepared to submit for such a guide - I'd like to see colours on whole pieces as well as a closeup, rather than just a closeup of a sample colour as on the other W/f site which I find more difficult to match up with glass I'm looking at.
(Can I ask something I've long wondered about ... are the two Whitefriars' sites .com and .org connected at all or are they run by separate people?)
David E:
Run by separate people, Anne.
I do agree with what you say Emmi: my thoughts about colour samples are that they would be tremendously difficult to photograph and keep consistent — except if they were all done using the same lighting conditions. A white backlight for each sample would be an ideal solution.
Naturally this would mean one person having all the samples, so very difficult to achieve in that sense.
You can send me all your WF examples if you want :sigh: If I must :wink:
Anne:
Thanks David, I wasn't sure.
Hmmm yes, I see the problem with different lighting etc causing variations...
...but I don't think you should be burdened with all that W/f glass David... tell you what, send it here instead and I'll deal with it for you. ;)
