Color picker errors in 2.3.3

The color picker in 2.3.3 does not understand Rosco blues, e.g. 60, 360, ... etc.  Sorting by hue places 60 and 360 between 312 and 310.  Really???  These are blue, not yellow.  It would be most helpful to review the Rosco book and adjust the color picker hues to match more closely.  If you look at the spectrum, you can see it is not correct.  For example, the spectrum for 60 has a peak around 420 and a valley around 620.  The spectrum on the color picker grows from 400 to 500, levels out until about 640 and then soars to about 700.  This isn't remotely close to the spectrum for 60. The hue should be around 220, not 46.  The color spectrum for 312 is also incorrect, though not so bad.  The actual spectrum climbs until 540 and then levels out.  The color picker show it climbing pretty much all the way to 700.  Is there a way to adjust the database to correct for these errors?  I would like to be able to fix the ones I use.

  • Hi Rick:

    When you are looking the gels and sorting them, are you in the mode that shows the gel as it appears on a Tungsten fixture (denoted by an icon that looks like a beam of light) or by the gel swatch book (denoted by an icon that looks like a swatch book)?  

    The way we sort and display color changes fairly drastically based on which of these you have chosen. This is because when displaying colors through a tungsten backlight we are adjusting based on a 3200K color temperature source.  The color picker is showing you its approximation of the resulting light as it would appear on stage. 

     It sounds like you may be looking at colors as they would appear on a Tungsten fixture, but desire the alternate.

    Thank you,
