Virtually no one calibrates their monitor so your carefully defined 24bit colours are going to hit eyeballs in all sorts of different forms.

That was one of the most incomprehensible essays I've read in a long time.

What was he even trying to say?

I'm perfectly aware that this article is not easy to understand.

Here is small summary:

In the http://live.visitmix.com/MIX10/Sessions/CL06 the color #0044cc was indicated like the color that brings Bing 80$ million dollars

I calculate the number #0033cc is better than #0044cc

By accident I find out that the Bing is actually is using #0033cc not #0044cc

So the question remains why the number #0044cc was used in the presentation. Is it pure author mistake or something else?

Anyway there is no "perfect number" or "perfect color". Every color should be balanced properly with all other colors in order to obtain proper results.

I'm no color theorist, but it's confusing to me why he would think the numbers for the perfect blue have to add up to 255 across all three channels. By that logic, wouldn't the perfect color white would be R:85 G:85 B:85 (or #555555)?

I love how there is no actual USAGE of the color in the article. :-P
