Scanning that wall color:
Dear Bill,
The following is as accurate a method I can come up with to reproduce your famous wall color for this Forum. I scanned it tonight (again) with my Gretag-MacBeth Eye-One Photo color spectrometer (image inset) and got the following readings on the L.a.b. scale: L: 48.0, a: 0.1, b: 11.7.
The nearest values in Photoshop are: L: 48, a: 0, b: 12. I painted a color patch and saved it in the color space used on this Forum.
My can of Benjamin Moore paint was tinted to the exact formula you have posted above. Thanks for the brief sketch of the color's evolution and historic provenance.
Edit: Your photograph portrait above is wonderful! The color does appear richer and greener to my eye in the daylight, than in this photoshop swatch, so the color effect on your photograph is right on target!
Enjoy,
Garth
