Mom should move closer right? Also are you so lucky that mom can match in cmyk or rgb? LOL I used to work with a guy that had worked around color so long that he could color match on press in under 5 minutes. He was a marvel ... did it all by eye and talent and memory. When I did press OK's with him it was so easy because he could get the color match done quickly and then there was just fine tuning. When I was working with some of the others it would take a minimum of 5 times longer and often much longer to achieve the same result. I used to beg to work with that man as he made life a lot easier.

My eye for color isn't bad at all but he made me feel like a novice that would never progress forward. Some people such as your mom have an inate ability to do that with color. They can look at it one time and remember it for as long as they wish. Then as if they have some sort of picture album in their brain they can take it away and make room for more. It is an amazing ability. For most of us yellow becomes the hardest color to distinguish as we age however people who have that ability seem never to lose the yellow perception. Amazing.
