Ok, this is pretty serious geek-stuff. See, I’m trying to convince a friend of mine that being able to control color would be a useful/powerful gift. He says no, pretty stupid power. Would it be a waste of the clever folks on the GQ board if I asked them to tell me ways it would be useful? ---

Depends to some extent exactly how you asked it, but it basically sounds like IMHO or MPSIMS material to me. If you really focussed specifically on the comics aspect it could go in Cafe Society. It’s really too open-ended to be suitable for GQ, I think. Colibri General Questions Moderator PS. Posting something like that in IMHO doesn’t _prevent_ you from receiving good scientific answers from posters with that information. ---

You might want to put out a call in your OP for **cmyk**. I think he’s one of the local color experts. ---
