[UPDATED] Download Color Chart Cmyk

Here's a clear, simple and free to download PDF CMYK Chart. Each color/colour has a value for cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) so you can pick the perfect CMYK color/colour for your project. The CMYK PDF chart is available in A4 and US Letter sizes.

Please note your monitor settings may affect what you see on your screen compared to your physical prints. The settings on inkjet or laser printers may also produce varying results. If you must have precise colors, we recommend purchasing a sample test print so you can see how your finished print could look.

Red can often appear orange or rusty when printing. When this happens, you need to look at your levels of magenta and yellow. If your red looks too pinkish, you have mixed in too much magenta. But if you see a more orange tinge, the yellow color value is too high.

Cyan and yellow will produce a green color. Set the values to equal parts and make them dense for vibrant results. As for yellow, be careful when making it darker. It can become easily more of a sage or mustard color. For a much denser mixture, it can become more orange or green.

Pinks in CMYK printing are all about the magenta. For stand out pink colors - the magenta levels should be high, and the yellow, cyan, and black low. If you add too much yellow, you will get more red hues, but with too much cyan, it will turn purple.

Want your colors to pop off the page? Although CMYK can never quite reach the backlit-brilliance of RGB colors, the color combinations below will ensure the most vivid results for your printed products.

I'm having an issue with CMYK in Designer. I have a color on one part of the design and want to duplicate it in another section. The problem is that even though I enter the exact same color code, opacity and blend mode, the color is not the same as the original. I tested this by duplicating the object with the correct color. It duplicates perfectly, however when I re-typed the color code in the color picker, it literally changed to a slightly darker, less vibrant color. I then duplicated the original object again and again the duplicate is exact to the original. Anyone know what can be causing this?

I know I can just use the eyedropper to duplicate the color but I shouldn't have to do that, especially an issue if I want to use the same color on a different project. Also, when I use the eyedropper, it changes to the more vibrant color but the color codes are exactly the same so I just really don't understand what's going on.

It happens whether the color format in the document setup is RGB or CMYK. To clarify, the object color I'm trying to duplicate was actually created by me in the same project, so it isn't an issue of format differences between projects.

As mentioned by @Old Bruce, this seems to be a situation where you have a document in RGB color mode so that you first display an RGB color definition and its CMYK conversion value, which is based on underlying document CMYK color profile (determined by the working CMYK color profile, which is initially determined by the color settings of the app Preferences, but can subsequently be changed by the user), but then type in the same CMYK color value using the slider boxes. When you do so, you redefine the color using CMYK values, which then will have changed RGB color values (conversion of which is based on the underlying document color profile pair). Converting from RGB to CMYK is an irreversible operation, so converting from CMYK back to RGB will give you different color values.

The video below demonstrates this condition. Note how the initial RGB value picked from the image shows already different CMYK values compared to ones shown in the document screenshot, since to be able to produce exactly same conversion values, we'd need to know the document RGB and CMYK profiles that were used. The video uses sRGB and ISO Coated v2, so to be able to reproduce what is demonstrated here with exactly same behavior, you need to have the same color profile pair. Highly different RGB color values can produce the same CMYK conversion, which is what can be expected when converting from color space with higher color gamut to color space with (in most parts) lower color gamut. (And naturally the opposite is true, too: the same RGB color value will produce highly different CMYK color values, depending on the profile.)

Note how the color lock in the Color panel plays.a significant role. When having the lock on (which is the default), switching back and forth between RGB and CMYK color modes will not redefine the color values but just show the conversion values determined by the document color profile pair. But when the lock is turned off, switching will perform redefinition of the color (and because of rounding errors, can. give a bit different values on each conversion). Having the lock on, the redefinition will happen only when you type in a color value (even if using an existing value, as on the video), or drag or even just click one of the color sliders.

Hi everyone! I am an Italian user of Affinity Designer since its first releases, I use it for publishing illustrations. Now I am happily using v2. I would suggest an implementation of the Color Panel: when using the Wheel color model, you cannot check the color values (or percentages). Could the color panel show CMYK values when the Wheel color model is active? See the two pictures I'm sending you to understand what I mean.

Why should the color be "checked" when entering a color using the wheel? If you need to enter a color that corresponds to some CMYK values (percentages), it is better to enter them directly (CMYK slider).

If Document Color is CMYK then CMYK and HSL value may be displayed, if Document Color is RGB then RGB and HSL value may be displayed.

This helps a lot when keeping an eye on colors when designing print or designing for the web.

Hello. Switching from one color to another via the Wheel mode is much faster than having to set individual CMYK values. But, working for publishing, it's important for me to control at the same time the percentage of color I'm going to print.

Yes, of course you can, but it's just a workaround.

You can also call the Color Chooser window and have a real-time preview of the CMYK, RGB, HSL and HEX color values.

But this window takes up a lot of space.

However, putting these values in the Color panel is elegant. All you have to do is copy the data from the Color Chooser window and insert it into the Color panel. and it would be great.

On the other hand, you should only use CMYK colors for printing. This is because you will have paper, or some other material, absorbing some of the colors, instead of light projecting the colors on a screen.

Printing the same CMYK color codes on 5 different printers will likely yield 5 different results (sometimes, 5 verrry different results). Color variation in digital printing is really common, even amongst professional print shops.

When printshops convert Pantone colors to CMYK, or when I try to do it on my in-house printer, we generally print a test print, then continue to adjust the colors, print more test prints, etc. until it matches. This printable color chart will get you pretty close if not exact on the first try!

This page lists the CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-blacK) representation of color of the form cmyk(C%, M%, Y%, K%), where C, M, Y, and K are the percent values for the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black values of the color. The CMYK color system is used in printing inks for paper. The CMYK system is NOT used in HTML or style sheets, but is a popular form of color representation, and is shown here to help you get an insight into color representation and for comparison to the ways you can define colors in HTML or style sheets. You can use a quick reference table to help you choose from among the many color tables available. The colors in the chart below come from a variety of sources. Color swatches are defined by using the hexadecimal code for the color and are sorted by CMYK. The color names are descriptive and shouldn't be used to specify a color unless you are using the 16 named colors or SVG colors. You can see shades of these colors in a table, also.Click on the graphic on any page to see a table of color tables available or to see the meaning of the labels (Safe 16 SVG Hex3).You can use different formats of this same information (To vote for this version, share this link: )

Hi! I wanted to use a color wheel at Adobe Color site. I needed a color palette in CMYK. I set CMYK in Adobe Color in the lower left corner on the site. But the color wheel on the site looks nowhere near like CMYK. Colors are vibrant like in RGB, not faded as in CMYK. How to see this color wheel in CMYK colors? I don't want to see those CMYK colors only after importing to PS or AI. I want to see it at Adobe Color site to match my colors better, because this site is very useful. Do you have any idea how to do this?

In the first attachment it is a screenshot of the color wheel in Adobe Color described as CMYK with too vibrant colors to be the real CMYK. In the second attachment, in comparison, it is a a screenshot from the CMYK color wheel in Adobe Illustrator, with faded shades as I would like to see in Adobe Color, but sadly I don't...

The CMYK values are not going to be viable in this application. They are not based on any standard print proceess, and should not be used. Instead set up the color you want as a spot color in InDesign or Illustrator, then convert them to CMYK using the correct profile on export to PDF. e24fc04721
