Color Bars for Monitor Calibration
The grayscale chart below shows gradations of neutral gray from pure black to pure white. You should be able to discern differences in each gradation of gray, with the possible exception of the two or three darkest levels. There should be no color cast to any of the levels.

                                                                 

The color charts below are similar to the grayscale chart at the top, showing even gradations of pure red, green and blue. You should be able to discern each gradation at the bright end. Ideally, you should also be able to discern each at the dark end, but the darkest several levels of any one color may blend together.

Final Impressions

“My experience with Visual Moxie was fantastic from the start. VM's designs are clear, crisp, and elegant. The VM team was attentive and responsive to our business requirements, both in its conceptual and website work. Visual Moxie's final website design streamlined our core competencies and made it easier for clients to understand the range of our products and services. Additionally, you can tell that VM administrators enjoy their work and it shows in their attention to detail, flexibility and positive, energetic attitudes. I highly recommend Visual Moxie Design Studio.”
