Did you know that according to some unremembered book source, that if you add just one dop of black paint, to a gallon of white paint, the black pigment has an almost bleaching effect on the white paint, and the white becomes whiter?
I've neither confirmed nor discredited this theory by asking various painters and others this question. My Grandfather agreed with the statement in the book. He was a very bright man. He only had an eighth grade education. He left school to work, to help his parents make ends meet. Grandpa went on to a trade school, and eventually taught in the trade school himself. He was a mechanic by trade, and an excellent carpenter and handyman.
When I ask painters this question, they all seem to reply, "Thats rediculous, the white paint will become more of a gray color."
Am I less of a man then to assume my Grandfather, and some unknown book on basic science, before believing the experts in the field?
AND If so fatso, 😉 Does this also cloud my judgement in other endevours?

If so, I agree. American conservatives have gotten far too vocal.
Originally posted by Ice Coldobjectively, the paint will get greyer. but subjectively, our brain tends to interprete a cold ie. blueish white as 'whiter' than a warm white. so if the 'black' has a shade of blue in it, the white might actually look 'whiter' in certain conditions.

that's why many lcd monitors/tvs come with cold factory presets, to make it look brighter.

How odd it is that chess is often the opposite at times, with it's complications and unclear at times positional oddites. It seems refreshing when a combination strips away the complications, and reveals the truth pure and simple.

As for Obama, I am just left of center. I didn't vote for the man, but he has my support now that the majority has spoken.
The economy, the Wars our soldiers have been fighting, all more important than some stupid thread about paint.
