Yeah I'm cheating a bit, we're talking about regular cheap office lighting :) In any case, I had access to a recent Pantone swatch, which more or less indicated that the Munki was pretty much on the mark... But I still have a significant visual discrepancy... The bigger problem obviously is that I'm not targeting a well calibrated display :( Are there any guidelines to translate "accurate color" to "general web use", if that makes any sense at all...
