Is there a place where a color profile is listed that would help standardize the colors that we see on our monitors? I checked my purple submission on two seperate pc's in our house. When I received a comment that my purple was a bit red I checked on the third and guess what it was very much more red than the other two.

If you care about this - particularly if you want print output to look the same as how you edit it, a colour calibration device is a great way to go.

//www.colorvision.com/ for example or //www.monacosys.com/products.html

Otherwise, you'd need a printed sample mailed to everyone using the calibration image, to know what it should look like. You can also use the 'Adobe Gamma' tool that ships with Photoshop, but this is largely a waste of time, given that your eye/brain works specifically to ignore the very things you have to notice to make the gamma correction tool work well.

Thank you for the reply. I have calibrated the two monitors I use with adobe gamma and they do get prints the way they are seen on the monitor. It was my son's pc which is not calibrated that looked quite different. I suppose you are right about needing to send a print to all the members for each to be able to calibrate it. I guess having the challenge be specifically a color challenge makes it difficult in that someone may be looking at a completely different color
