Last Tuesday a bakery client in Boise kept saying my gray looked "sad" and I finally yanked the blue out of it, swapped in something closer to #EDE3D0, and she approved it in 10 minutes after 3 rounds of nothing. Anyone else notice warm grays always read cold on a screen and then shock you when they hit paper?
