Thank you for taking the time to illustrate what I was trying to describe. I am an amatur 'tog myself and looking at your EXIF nice to see you shoot the
right brand.
lilac_jive, if you look closely at
cerement's photo you will see the display in relation to not only the color balancing chart but also a book with actual white pages. The eink even on the Kindle is not close to any shade of white. My experience with gray scale displays comes from the old CRT days and gray scale always included white as part of the scale. Even the original macs has white as part of the scale. in face the displays were caller
paper white.
Combine that understanding with the use of the word white when describing the technology you should be able to see why one is let down when viewing the display in real life. Light gray I certainly could live with. But the current color is several shades darker than light gray.
