Disclaimer
We must start with a very clear disclaimer. Computer monitors display colors very differently to printed colors. Monitors are illuminated and printed colors are reflective. Even two monitors will display the same color differently. Therefore, we make no guarantee whatsoever that the colors you see here on screen will be exactly what you get in the printed product. You can be sure of what you get if you use the Pantone Process Color Imaging Guide which is available from any graphic arts store and some larger stationers.
 
Limitations
We print using a CMYK color process. This is where the color of your choice is made up of a mix of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. (K = Key color) Whilst most colors are achievable, some colors do not reproduce perfectly. The two major colors that are poorly reproduced are Bright Orange and a vibrant Lime Green. For example: The best orange that can be produced is a dull orange, and the same with Lime Green. However, Green, Light Green and Dark Green all reproduce well.
 
Help
Choose a creation option from the tabs above to generate your new color and add it to your Color Selector.  Colors can be used on text, rules and boxes throughout our site.
 
CMYK is where you enter the percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks used to mix your desired color. PMS* is a color matching system by Pantone© which printers use to define colors. So if you know the PMS color of your logo or text etc this is where you can enter it.
 
By Clicking on the Add to Your Colors button, the color will be added to your Added Colors list on the right.
 
We remember the Colors you have chosen so on return visits you do not have to go through this process again.
 
Be sure to Delete any Colors you no longer require from your Added Colors list. This will prevent the screens from loading slower with unneccesary data.
