@serra: I truly delight in color, color-theory and especially color nuiance. In school, my best instructors included Robert Andrew Parker (MOMA) Kenda North (Polaroid) and Betsy Rupprecht, who's mother founded the School of the Art Institute's painting program. As a photography major and accomplished 'C-printer' one gets to understand additive and subtractive color, plus a gerneral understanding of CMYK.
Today, it seems we all have to see/think in RGB+Gamma, which is not always a simple bridge to cross... My biggest current fear is not a muddy mid-range or low shadow detail, but rather accidentally hitting that menacing button labled: [BLACKOUT!]
