<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3248970, member: 27832&quot;]Gotcha. So you aren&#039;t saying that color progressions on coins, or their prevalence, have changed; you&#039;re saying that the <i>images</i> of those coins have changed, because printed photos have a different <i>gamut</i> from photos displayed on screens (and colors are mapped somewhat differently within the bounds of those gamuts).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d go even a bit further, and point out that <i>the coins themselves in-hand</i> are likely to look different under &quot;modern&quot; LED or fluorescent lighting, as opposed to incandescent light. It&#039;s not just color temperature; LED white lamps tend to have a notch, sometimes substantial, in the green, and non-specialty fluorescents have notches all over the place. (So does sunlight, but those notches aren&#039;t so deep or wide, and don&#039;t matter much.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quattron" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quattron" rel="nofollow">Sharp is flogging four-color displays</a>, but They&#039;re Doing It Wrong, and the market isn&#039;t buying it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are a lucky few &quot;anti-color-blind&quot; people whose eyes have four or more distinct types of color receptors, but we pretend they don&#039;t exist. Sure wish one of <i>them</i> would get seriously interested in toners.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
