Yes, I know the source light as well as the color sample matters, let
alone individual eyes. (I heard there are actually two variations of
the "red" color cone in the eye, and they have slightly different
sensitivities.) Also that reproducing colors with accuracy is
notoriously difficult, and so it's usually expensive. Doing a
reflection spectrum would be more accurate, but it's hard to measure
by eye (a simple spectroscope is not too difficult), and electronic or
mechanical measurements are generally expensive. Sigh. Still, doing
a spectral analysis on a *few* henna stains for comparison purposes
might be interesting. I might manage that...in the summer, when the
equipment is less likely to be in use.

Am I getting dangerously obsessed? (Nah, not *quite* dangerous yet, I
think.)
