Another way of saying it, maybe . . .

One of the first guys I studied with was Dan Greene, who took this approach:

First, he says he asks himself the value of that particular spot on the model.

Second, is it warm or cool?

Third, is it more blue or more yellow (as in aliz or cad red light)

These seem like a more general approach than does this classification system, but it's not a bad way to look at it. Three simple questions that lead, at least to the place you stand when you're at bat -- so to speak. For some reason, it works for me, too. I'm not "selling" Mr. Greene. As I said, he's one of the first with whom I studied, so some of his ideas stuck.
