I mixed it myself to match the MacBeth color chart. Besides not reflecting a cast on my screens, it is a beautiful, restful color. What is probably more important is to wear a neutral color when you sit in front of the computer! I have a terrible problem with dust, but it's getting better since Tom moved his saws to the garage!! Good luck.
