Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had any good tips for getting nicely saturated color on video. Specifically blue and green. I've got a client that just isn't happy with their logo colors on TV. I've tried explaining that if they get more saturated there is too much chroma crawl. But they insist they've done it in the past. Of course they have. Initially they wanted everything against black but is there a better color that would allow more chroma in the lettering but not conflict as much so as to produce these wonderfully crawly edges? The real problem is that there is a long string of text that is just too small for the color. I've got a vscope and it says I could have more green and blue but it's crawly where it's at. I suppose this may be more from the fact that I'm viewing a composite signal. The end result will be distributed on VHS though so I figure it has to look good at composite anyway. ANy thoughts? DM
