![]() You can adjust your CMYK if you need to by modifying the CMYK values. If you want to see if these 2 colors are very close to each others, enter your HEX value #0074aa in the HEX field the color of the swatch on top and bottom should be closer. You will use that new CMYK value instead it's the value of the Pantone the closest to your HEX value, converted to CMYK. You will notice a new HEX value and a new CMYK value. If the color on the top swatch matches well the one on the bottom swatch, go back to the previous screen by clicking "picker." You can also see the option "color libraries" that's where you'llįind the Pantones equivalent to the recipe that is active. Suggesting you a similar blue to the one you got online and it Represents the gamut the CMYK can print and the closest match. There is a little square next to the 2 swatches above this I suggest to ignore the equivalent online and use Photoshop in this way instead: I used the correspondant CMYK you mentioned and your HEX, and compared them. One way to see your colors well is to use Photoshop and compare them. In this case, your blue looks like a Pantone 286 on coated and 293 on uncoated. The colors will always look different on every screen you'll look at, that's also why you cannot expect to have a perfect match.īut if you need to select a color in CMYK based on a web color, the best is to use a Pantones color chart and select your color there, and use that color converted to CMYK instead. It's better to find a similar match by using your own eyes, printed charts and the CMYK values. It will suggest you an equivalent by comparing the 2 color gamut mathematically but it's never precise. The suggested CMYK equivalent is a bit "rough" and not always precise. It's easier to get a best match from CMYK to HEX than the opposite, and make sure your client understand there will never be an exact match but only a close one. ![]() Viewing the CMYK on iPhone also shows the bright cyan colour. I'm working in CMYK mode in Illustrator CS5. Alternatively if I add a swatch with the Hex value of #0074aa, the CMYK values are completely different.Ĭonfusingly, if I put the translated CMYK values that Illustrator came up with after entering #0074aa into an online converter, the resulting hex match is completely different - a bright cyan blue (3)!ĭoes anyone have an idea as to why this is occurring? When I sent a business card design I made to the printer, the colour printed out was the bright cyan hence why I am trying to figure out the reason for this problem. When I add these CMYK values to Illustrator as a colour swatch, these translate to a slightly darker, deeper blue (2). The company I am working with has a stock hex colour - #0074aa (1).Īccording to online conversion sites, this hex code translates to the CMYK of: C: 100 I have a strange problem with Illustrator.
