This is pretty far removed from colorsync, but is about color
management and probably some color geek will have an opinion on it...
...So the approximately white walls in the apartment are pretty drab,
needing some good fresh color. So I snap some pictures, load into
photoshop, create a good mask for the walls and start virtual painting.
(I've found that desaturating the walls then, using a solid color
layer with a linear burn blending mode and fiddling with the color and
the blend & fill levels provides the most realistic looking results.
The color burn mode works well, but seems best for simulating a gloss
paint. Anybody with a better technique, let me know.)
Anyway, on to the color geek question...so I've got my room virtually
painted with something that looks great. How do I go from photoshop
colors to a paint recipe? In particular, the luminosity obviously
varies across the virtually painted surface, so I have to account for
that. And since I have NO experience with getting custom paint mixes,
what sorts of numbers can paint shops work with, or is it all some
proprietary system?
