On another thread, I mentioned I had once gone to Sherwin Williams' factory automotive paint school.
One of the instructors at the school mentioned that when the various automobile manufacturers come out with new paint colors, they do not freely divulge the formula for each color to the various aftermarket paint manufacturers, DuPont, Sherwin Williams, Martin Senour, et al, for repair work on the vehicles. It's up to each paint manufacturer to analyze the color and develop a formula to match.
Then when a color is developed to match the factory's color, the responsibility for approval of the match rests on 17 to 22 year old girls. Why? Out of the entire human race, it's been deterimined that young females have the most accurate perception of color.
They say all males are color-blind to some extent, however slight. Even females may start losing perception of color as they approach their late 20's. So, the manufacturers use the young ladies for their ability to percieve color, and then put them on a path upwards in the company, if they're interested.
I know some of ya'll have laid awake nights wondering about that.
