Most annoying problems/anomalies/whatthefucks in Graphic/WEB design Thread.
Biggest for me so far:
Different monitors showing way different colors.
So I am pretty glad of what my laptop monitor is showing, the colors are nice, not too bright, I would assume - very well calibrated (factory calibrated). So I went to school today, and I had some time to kill, so I logged in on a computer (all monitors are the same - LCD Samsung) to see how my website looks on a different resolution monitor. And I immediately whatthefuck... The nice Pantone greens I used are fucked up way too bright green. They looked prefect on my laptop screen. I don't have 2 screens at home, so I had to use my phone, that seem to show similar colors to the ones I've seen on them Samsungs. And you know what I did - I made a compromise color so it doesn't look too shit on neither. Vut that is fucking retarded. Why would there be such difference of callibration, and I'm talking about factory calibration. What the fuck were they thinking???

My monitor shows colors similar to print - that I assume is the best calibration for a monitor.
You may assume I would be saying that other monitors are crap.
- Well, Yes. That's what it looks like. They look like if I was to add +20 to my monitor saturation and -5 hue.
This issue is still a fucking nightmare.
I won't be using Pantone colors in my designs, that's for sure.

You don't need 2 screens at home, you need pantone swatches if you're working with pantone colours. Doesn't matter if you get 2 monitors to match, it will never match ink on paper.
Factory calibrated is very blue, actually, you should look into calibration software for your purposes. Colour calibrating is actually quite difficult to get right, and if you're working with print materials you may as well only get it as close as you can and then use real-world swatches and trust them when they match the numbers you punch into the illustrator/indesign/whatever palette.
On screens, basically always assume everyone will see it a little differently. That's just the truth of it.
