temperature difference nightmare

That’s one way to put it. And even for our eyes and brain, color is tricky stuff (check out the tons of color-based optical illusions). Among artists for instance, there tend to be more good draughtsmen than colorists. And viewers don’t all share the same range of sensitivities anyway.

I have to ask: Are you trying to match the color to do a repair job or what? If the wall has old paint, it will be extremely difficult to just cover a patch with a “matching” color.

Our eyes do so much that we take for granted that film & sensors do not.

I wonder how using the Color Muse differs from just taking a picture of the surface with your phone. Probably there would be an issue with color calibration, which the Muse is designed to obviate.
