I seem to recall reading that Georgia O'Keefe required a specific grey

to be painted on the gallery walls before her paintings were hung=3D2C thou=
gh

I can't find any references to what that color or it's value was.

Does anyone have that information?

I recently researched a very specific color for a glaze=3D2C in speaking to=
t=3D
he=3D20

Mason stain lab tech=3D2C I referenced a pantone color to get the=3D20

information I needed.

I like using pantone colors as a reference tool to

visually "translate" a color from person to person=3D2C unfortunately=3D20

pantone color wheels are very expensive. Without my contact=3D20

in the graphics field I would not have had access to one as a=3D20

reference tool. (Thanks Gail)

Recently=3D2C I tested hundreds of glaze colors and combinations for=3D20

my own very specific requirements. For me the most frustrating part of=3D20

glaze making is much like that of parenting.=3D20

You can teach the experiences you have and the mistakes you have made=3D2C=
=3D20

but until your children make their own mistakes=3D2C=3D20

their experience is still their best teacher.

Could it be the same gray that is on the 18% gray card used by
photographers since her husband was a photographer?
