@joesteel I haven't done a test yet, but I am feeling you on the “how much of that is my sensitivity to such visual phenomena” issue. When I used to do color correction regularly for work under a color-calibrated light hood, I discovered by left and right eye perceived red slightly differently. I am not quite that sensitive now! But I suspect working intensely in a visual production medium, you might be attenuated. But still!
