Heh. As a [former][0] artist (and musician), and an engineer, I can confirm that the Venn diagrams overlap, quite a bit.

Pigment color is a real heavy-duty field. There's a guy named Michael Wilcox[1] that is famous for his work on pigment color.

> Pigment color is a real heavy-duty field

I'm not surprised. As $DAYJOB involves a reasonable amount of requirements for colour accurate previewing in a print context I still feel like I'm never as sure about all steps of the colour pipeline as I should be, and this adds a whole new area to know I'll never feel like I know enough about.

Michael Wilcox's site has virus on every click or link it redirect to a casino or some other site at the end.

Sadly, I'm not surprised (looks like the site was written twenty years ago). It must be one of those "roulette" ones, because I have not encountered it (or Safari kills it), but it does have that stupid region popup.

Here's a video interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd3hCBPqzYU
