I don't think we disagree at all. You may have misunderstood what I said, or I may not have been clear enough.

What I said was that I agreed with Mike and Karin that Naples approximates the higher highlights of sunlight on flesh - the color of the light.

I meant that flesh in true north daylight (not direct sun) tends to be cooler - the color of the sky, and that the majority of indoor or artificial lighting will be much warmer on flesh.

I am not applying any formula, just direct observation of what I have recently seen.

Further, I was responding to a direct question about the Covino method - what I told Tito is exactly what Frank told me and it works pretty well for mixing an outdoor flesh palette using his method.
