Stop trusting your monitor's green, it's lying to you

Spent 3 days retrying a forest green design for a client in Austin and every print came out olive, turns out my screen was showing sRGB while the printer wanted a specific coated Fogra profile. Check your color management settings before you burn another $80 in samples, has anyone else had this fight with soft proofing?

Check your screen brightness too, that shifts greens worse than profiles.

Dave once calibrated his greens at max brightness, then wondered why his photos looked like radioactive slime for a week.
