![]() ![]() Creating Color for Digital and Print Material Understandably then, vision is the one sense out of all the five senses which people treasure the most. Its speed in taking in information and processing it is rapid and outstanding. The eye is a fascinating organ of the human body with an anatomy that works with the nervous system and brain. It can distinguish ranges, tints, densities, and tones so quickly we do not give it a thought. The eye has the ability to take in an incredibly large spectrum in a blink. Oh I wished if only I could blink my eyes like the shutters of a camera and capture all that I saw! Perceiving and Creating Colorįrom leaves and flowers to websites and logos, color imparts its beauty and emotion. As I turned the bend, a long row of cherry and dogwood trees welcomed me with a vast array of pinks and corals and cream blossoms above me. A large wisteria tree heavy with lavender, mauve, and violet flowers was waving its treasures in the breeze. The early spring leaves were emerging, elegantly presenting a vast range of yellows and greens. In recent years, Pantone has decided to expand PMS to plastics, lifestyle, fashion, and home products.Driving through Roxy Hill and Windy River I (R Creative Advisory Partner, Anne-Marie) winded my way down south. This way, they can make sure that strict color consistency is followed across their various print products around the world. This standardization allows most organizations and businesses to use PMS colors for their branding, especially logos. Pantone is the first company that created the first comprehensive standardized system of matching and creating colors in the design community. PMS colors are patented and standardized color inks which are made by the Pantone company. In addition to the four-color process, PMS colors are also utilized as spot colors on premium brochures. PMS is utilized in one- or two-color jobs. PMS system is primarily used for offset printing only and is ideal for stationary. The CYMK colors absorb colored light, that is why CYMK is known as a “subtractive” color model. Looking at a CYMK printed piece through a magnifying glass, you will be able to see a pattern of CYMK dots and their overlapping to make the final color. A CYMK is primarily used for printing applications, and it is not one solid color. It is a method through which a combination of tiny transparent dots of four-ink (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) are printed.ĭifferent combinations of small and large CYMK transparent dots overlap each other for creating a wide spectrum of colors. ![]() This color system is also called a four-color process. You don’t need to worry about the conversion as most graphic designing software come equipped with built-in conversion tools. A HEX color is represented as a six-digit combination of letters and numbers which are defined by its mix of the primary colors.Ī HEX color code is basically a shorthand for its RGB values with a few conversion workflows in between. HEX (hexadecimal color)ĭevelopers and designers use HEX colors for onscreen purposes primarily in web design. RGB colors are suited to digital applications only - for instance, games, movie screens, and illuminated signs.Īlthough RGB colors are vibrant on screen, they tend to give disappointing results when used for printing. When we mix all three colors, we get pure white and pure black when we remove all three colors. RGB being an additive process is the complete opposite of CYMK. RGB is associated with the rendering of onscreen colors by using combinations of red, green, and blue. It is the most commonly used color system in the digital world. Today we will discuss various color systems and what is the difference between them. These, when used effectively, will ensure that color consistency goes a long way. No one can control the inherent variations in billions of mobile devices and personal computers, but there are certain color systems that are universal. On top of that, there are endless varieties of browsers, mobile devices, TVs, and printing methods that make various designs come to life. There are millions of designers working on content creation and printing worldwide. Keeping the color precise and consistent in design is not easy. ![]()
