Remember -- you're looking at a digital picture (camera color calibrated?) on your individual monitirs (color calibrated?) and comparing them with 50-year-old memories or photos taken on who knows what film in what kind of light printed with what kind of fidelity in a book that you're looking at in what kind of light. The only sure way is to copy the formula used on the original and then let the result weather and undergo caustic washings. Be assured -- NY&GL is coming as close as humanly possible to the original colors. We may have to adjust our thinking -- after we see the real thing.
