Now, I understand why prepress and pressroom fight over color.

Anyone judging color should have to pass an annual color blindness test yet I've never heard of one being administered to anyone in a printing plant.

Ball Metal Container used to do this when I was an in-plant ink technician there. That was years ago.

At my previous employer, we administered color blindness, and the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test to all employees.

We did have a few employees who were color blind in the past. however, the people who scored the best on the F-M Hue test were most often the ones who visually evaluated color most frequently...press ops, color retouchers, QC. Those not in color-critical positions did less well... maybe because they didn't really care. ;)

Not color blind... the actual term you guys are referring to is color deficiency.
Color blind is actually seeing everything as gray!!! kinda crazy!

But ya, when it's color critical I let the ladies "advise" on color. It's true!

Maybe the tests should be to see how close they are to the Standard Observer with the 2 degree view angle.

Tunnel vision required. :)
