Re: [Avid-L2] In search of 40% neutral grey not 50 shades of grey?

While I'm not even sure this is possible with paint creation,

my suggestion is to specify to the paint folks

based on RGB, HEX code, or CMYK:

40% Gray in RGB:

R: 102

G: 102

B: 102

40% Gray in HEX:

#666666

In CMYK, I previously guessed that

the formula would be: C: 0%; M: 0%; Y: 0%; K: 40%…

but, based on Photoshop, it seems the CMYK recipe

would be:

C: 60%

M: 51%

Y: 51%

K: 20%

Anyone know if using any of those is possible?

Pantone (PMS 444) also comes close to neutral:

R: 137

G: 142

B: 140

I've sent an email to request a reseller for the paint. I'll let the list know what I find out. I did take my home made white paint with black drops to the paint computer and it did in fact show blue and magenta drops in the proposed matching mixture. This seems to verify the paint shops claim that adding black drops to white paint goes blue. Of course the mixing specialist had to make several modifications taking a couple hours to match the chip chart and even then when I went home and test painted it appears too dark. Certainly not the end of the world but I'd be willing to go for the Ecinema paint to avoid this hassle.
