Re: OT Test your Colour IQ
Calibration matters when you want to match printer output to what you see on the screen, or when you want to make sure that images you deliver to clients are color accurate. In terms of this test, it doesn't matter because you're identifying color shift between samples. And even if the colors your looking at are not accurate, the shifts are still proportional.
