They still have one variable to quantify. 

I'll never forget the time -- long before digital -- when I showed
wedding photographs to a Mom and her daughter. The mom said, "That dress
looks too yellow!" The daughter replied emphatically, "No Mom! It
doesn't look yellow enough." And it didn't stop there.

The daughter's color profile must have been downloaded from her father.
