I think it may have something to do with ambient light. And it also may
have something to do with my color vision. Right now, with the same
lighting in my study, a Kodak gray card also seems to have the magenta
tint.
The light is a compact florescent, but I'm not sure of its color
temperature. I will have to look into that matter
