It all starts with the eyes...

Did You Know?...

Men are more likely to have colour vision defects than women.
One out of every 12 men has some form of colour deficiency, but only one out of every 255 women is affected.

A colour vision defect doesn't mean you're colour blind.
There are varying degrees of colour blindness, and some people may not be colour blind at all. They simply have a tougher time distinguishing various hues than someone with sharper colour acuity.

The Ishihara's Tests and the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test are the most widely used tests in industry where colour decisions are critical.

...then, the lighting...

The colour of an object depends on the light which is used to illuminate it. A bright red car may appear brown under sodium street lighting, although the owner would still say he had a red car.

Colour perception can be deceived by secondary factors such as ambient illumination, background colour and sample size etc, hence when working with colour we can either accept these variations or try to remove as many of them as possible in a controlled illumination environment, such as a lightbox.

 It is estimated that we can discriminate between seven and ten million colours, which illustrates that if colour is important to you, then it is important to understand and to take control of the variables which can affect how we see it...

...then, what you see should be what you get!!!
