* In the printing industry we use the Pantone Matching System (with the unfortunate acronym of PMS), but I know that this PMS system was not in place when Sleeping Beauty was made.

We use the PMS charts at my work as well. It's a real beeauch to try to use it for coloring skin care products, I swear. But we do ink printing on bottles, paper, and lables also.

And Kevy's right, there's no way to tell what the correct colors are unless they adhere to the archive records. For all I know the correct colors for the stairs are shades of purple and pink.

I'm simply wondering why the purportedly same restoration looked different in the theater than it does on that screen cap supposedly from the DVD release.

What's a "screen cap"?

Screen Capture - the images that Issac posted are actual Screen Captures from the DVD.

One cannot accurately compare the colors between what is on the screen (I am not sure if you saw a digital or film presentation) and what is on you computer screen.

And I can almost guarantee that what is on you computer screen looks different on my computer screen and on what is on Isaacs and what is on anybody else's screen.

Lastly, projected light (computer screen) will look different than reflected light (movie theatre screen).

Basically, you're f*cked...

While I think that's a good idea so you know who to avoid and when, don't the ladies get upset with you for tracking that kind of data?

From my experience, it doesn't require a chart. One KNOWS when the girls are riding the cotton pony.
