On screen vs on paper

    
A backlit display flatters a pair; paper doesn't. Warm stock instead of #FFFFFF, a smaller gamut, lower contrast — this is where the verdict often changes.

On paper — approximate

      

    

    
An approximation of warm stock, reduced gamut and lower contrast — not a color-managed proof, and no claim about a specific press. For signage at distance, shrink the specimen with the size slider above.

Color-blind view

    
Contrast is a luminance ratio, and color blindness keeps luminance — so it barely moves below. What moves is distinguishability: how far apart the two colors stay (ΔE). That is the number to watch, and why this section exists. You can publish any of these as its own pair.
