Brad,
Check out the new Anchor Steam clone in the December recipes.

The est. color is 8, the style color is 8 - 14 and is bolded indicating not a match.

If the difference is not displayable (which is what I think happened) the tool should not indicate out-of-style.

I have seen this before.

Fred,
 Obviously there is some rounding going on here...most likely the internal value is something like 7.95 and getting rounded up on the display.

 I will take a closer look at it - I should probably be displaying more significant digits on the color in any case.  Thanks for catching this.

Cheers!

I think you are right on the rounding issue, but I would not add more digits.  Instead I would use a "Round" function on the final calculated value that would match the precision displayed for value, thus making this example (Anchor Steam) display as being in spec.

I do not know of anyone who can detect .05 SRM anyway additional.

When you figure this out I would suggest applying the same algorithm to the other displayed values in this section.

Thanks!
 I just added this to the "to do" list.  It should not be a major code change.

Cheers!
