I Can't Show You How Pink This Pink Is (Video only)

I can show a brighter pink. I can show a more saturated pink. But I can't show you this pink. Not quite. (I reached out to Anish Kapoor's studio twice for comment; I didn't get any response.) Colour grading this video was a nightmare! I've got as close as I can to the real colour - Stuart gave me a small pot of the pigment to take home! - but it's just not quite there. It's not more saturated, it's not brighter, it's just... a tiny bit more pink, somehow.

Usually, if someone offers to show you their pink, say ‘no thanks.’

Looks like an old Walmart photo that has faded.

There's a reason why you can't show how 'pink' that pink is when using a monitor. It's called Color Gamut, and a monitor's color gamut is much more limited than the human eye's color gamut.

There are also problems properly representing some aqua colors on a color monitor for the same reason.

Isn’t this a retread of a years-old story about a designer that trademarked a particular hue of pink and sues people or makes them spend outrageous amounts of money to settle claims if they use a similar hue?
