Does he work for pantone?

Might be a good thing if he did.

The "standard observer" in action!

But can he do Luscious pink?

Nice illusion and certainly entertaining, but am I the only one that thinks this is faked?
At 0:50 the camera conveniently happens to switch angles while the person pretends to be mixing.
However at 0:51 the green object has moved and so have the colored sticks.
We are supposed to believe the person continues to work on the same mixture ?
I'd say the cup was switched.

There are also 4 cups in the smaller stack at the beginning, and then 3 in the second shot.

Does that mean he got it on his second try? Probably. I think that's just as impressive too.

Whatever happened there, that match appears to be so close at the end that you’d be hard-pressed to find something that good in any shop, anywhere. Completely acceptable and maybe even as good as it gets.
