What is grayscale and why is it important?

Grayscale is the range of gray at all brightness levels from completely black to completely white. It's important because it is the canvas on which the video pictures are painted. Colors will not be reproduced accurately if the grayscale is not set correctly. If the grayscale on your display has a bluish cast, for example, all the colors will look bluer than they're supposed to. Flesh tones will take on a cold, corpse-like cast. It's even possible (and quite common) for the black end of the grayscale to have a different cast from the middle and the white end, which will cause the dark areas of the picture to have a different look from the bright areas. Specialized equipment such as a colorimeter or a spectroradiometer is required to accurately measure and adjust grayscale.
