There are those of us who want vivid color, and those who want accurate color. These two factions battle with each other from time to time, and when they do, it’s epic. It’s like Spock and Kirk in the Amok Time episode.
For accurate color, Adobe Camera Raw has a great feature that will let you calibrate your color, through the use of a ColorChecker chart and the AcrCalibrator script from Chromoholics.
You’ll need Photoshop CS2 or CS3 for this to work, and you’ll need a MacBeth ColorChecker like the ones available here.
You will also want the AcrCalibrator script, which is available here, and then follow the steps
located here.

Haha! Thanks a lot. Now I have the Amok Time fight scene song in my head.
I just picked up Pantone’s Huey Pro for Christmas as a monitor calibrator and so far it seems like it does a pretty nice job (for a pretty nice price compared to some other products out there).
