"Lifelike graphics"

Fact: Monitors, TV's, etc - all use RGB colour scheme.

Fact: RGB colour scheme cannot represent all the visible colours of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is because some have a negative red component, that is to say, you'd have to add red to it to achieve a match with the RGB system.

In your opionion, is this significant, and will it prevent graphics ever being totally convincing?

Discuss ;)

You could create an image and ask me to do it.

Anyway.. shall we just accept that he can, for now?

Yes you are mad Sonic. I did Pure Maths, Mechanics Maths, Physics and Computing at A-Level and that left me with a bit of free time to do what I wanted. And now I have only 2 exams left and no more school ever. A great big holiday playing on my PS2 and DC, cant wait. But then Uni, hopefully not much worst than school.

hmmmm.... we must test this somehow.. maybe I'll make 2 web pages with one of each colour.... then u could say which is which?

Sonic

I'm sure I can.

I am a professional webdesigner, and I work with images and colour variations every day. This is my hobby (that and the FOG).

Messy.

Anyway, I'm sure it would have been something like "pop".

But different screens have v.v.v.v. slight differences colour representation... which means that colours that are next to identical like the ones above will appear the same on different screens!

I cannot believe that you could pick out one colour from another because one has 1 two-hundred-and-fifty-sixth higher intensity (compared to the max intensity that a monitor can show.. which isn;t alot anyway) in one colour.
