Our color library contains over 150 pages containing over 5000 color swatches with corresponding RGB values based on Illustrator and Photoshop swatch libraries. Here is the good news: we’ve created our own printable color library for these Adobe programs that you can use to match your colors. Unfortunately, the most commonly used design programs in the industry: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop don’t come with printable color libraries! It sounds much easier because it is! Industry specific software actually comes with color libraries that you can print. Then input those colors to your computer files using RGB values so you will always know how your colors will look when printed. The fastest and most efficient method to match colors is to begin by printing a color library from the printer that will be used for your final output, then match the season’s colors to the swatches on the printed color library. Not only is this an exhaustive, time consuming and expensive process, but it’s also like working backwards. Since color is a crucial element of design, we must re-color the artwork and keep printing until the color on the printout matches the chosen colors for the season. As Designers, CAD artists, and Graphic artists, we’ve all faced the frustration of spending hours creating CADs, presentation boards, pitch sheets, and textile designs only to discover that when printed, the colors on the printout do not accurately reflect the colors displayed on the monitor.
