\"Pantone<\/a>
Pantone 7548: Butter vs. Margarine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Friend Julie<\/a> sent me another Pantone Project color postcard last week. On the reverse she wrote that she thought of the color as ‘butter’. I completely lost my mind. I started thinking I was in line for cataract surgery or something, because to me the color looked more like margarine.<\/p>\n

As a result, I started running around the house taking photos. I know that all sorts of things -lighting, weather, etc – affect how the camera sees the color, but I have to say that the color in the photo (left) looks pretty true to the color on the postcard.<\/p>\n

My living room has, what I think of as, butter colored walls. It was hard to tell unless I took a photo of the ceiling (white) and the wall (butter yellow). I was pleased to see that I could see a contrast.<\/p>\n

Then I took a photo of the Pantone postcard against the wall. I wasn’t thrilled with the way the paint looked in the second photo. The yellow\/butter paint looked white compared to Pantone 7548, but what can a person do? I wasn’t about to set up studio lighting.<\/p>\n

I actually have butter (as in the food), so I went into my kitchen and compared the postcard to actual butter. Unless I am in need of cataract surgery, I think the yellow in the postcard is brighter.<\/p>\n

I don’t mind Friend Julie calling this butter. I am just glad I don’t have any eye problem at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
