I want to paint my studio grey but Home Depot could not match my grey card because it was see through...where can I get a formula for the paint color or is there a brand of paint that is made especially for this? |

Can you get your hands on a "solid" card type grey card? --------------------------- Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it - Confucius |

That is a great idea but I haven't been able to find one today. I was trying to get it all done this weekend. Since I will use backgrounds most of the time I guess it won't matter if it is a little off. |

The inside of most camera bags are 18% gray. Check yours out and see... --------------------------- Angelo www.mourinogallery.com "Luck Favors the Prepared", Author unknown |

Can they meter paint color off digital media?  There you go. What advantage is painting your studio in 18% gray? To nullify sunlight brought into the room? --------------------------- Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism. |

No, it has to be a solid color and not transparent...I'll try my luck and have them use my Lastolite white balance disk although they said it might be too transparent. Thanks for your help. |
