The Custom Palette
Let us assume that you have found the exact color you need using the
Color Finder tool. What you need to do next is apply these custom color
values to either an existing palette, or to create a new custom palette
altogether. This will allow you access to this color again should the
same job arise.
How to use Custom Palette:
•
First, you need to assign the CMYK values of the matched color
from the Color Finder palette to the
Output Color CMYK fields in
the Custom Palette section.
•
Give your new custom color a descriptive Name in its designated
field (e.g. IBM Blue).
•
Next, assign an RGB Input Color value. There are two methods
to establish this value.
1. If you have the original file, sample the color that was
matched in your graphic design application with the eye
dropper tool. This will give you the RGB value of that color.
Input this value into the RGB Input Color fields of the
Custom Palette section.
2. If you do not have the original file, or the artwork has not yet
been designed, simply click on the ‘Input Color Chooser’
button, and then click on “Define Custom Colors”. From the
color matrix, find a color that closely resembles the color that
you are adding to the custom palette. At the bottom-right of
the color matrix window are the RGB values. Simply click
‘OK’ and the RGB Input Color values will be automatically
entered. Please take note of these RGB values for later use
in your design applications.
•
Click the Add Color button. A window will pop up asking you
whether you want to add the color to the palette for all
substrates, or just the current substrate. Click ‘YES’ here unless
you have the same custom color saved on palettes for other
substrates. Another window will then ask you if you want to save
the custom color for all resolutions or just the current one. Click
‘YES’ here unless you have the same custom color saved on
palettes for other resolutions.
•
Lastly, click the Save Palette button. When finished, simply Exit
out of the window.
