• Next,
determine
what
Step Size you want to apply to the Color Finder
palette. This is simply a question of how much you want your Start Color
to fluctuate.
•
If your Start Color is close the color you are looking for, use a low Step
Size (i.e. 5-10). However, if your start color is not close to what you are
looking for, use a higher Step Size. You can enter any Step Size value
between 1 and 40
.
▬ As an example, let’s say your Start Color is C:20, M:100, Y:150,
K:0 and you select Cyan and Magenta to be your Step Colors.
You also enter a Step Size of 10. When the ‘Print Colors’ button
is clicked, your Start Color will be in the middle of the Color
Finder palette and from there each color will vary the Cyan and
Magenta values by 10.
•
When you are finished selecting the Start Color, Step Colors, and the
Step Size, click on the Print Colors button. This will print your custom
Color Finder palette directly to your printer.
•
After printing the Color Finder palette, transfer it to your selected
substrate and then try to match your desired color to one that is on the
palette. If you find a suitable match, you are finished using the Color
Finder tool. Move on to Section V. The Custom Palette.
•
If you couldn’t find an accurate match on the first printed Color Finder
palette, don’t worry. Follow the easy steps below, and you can find a
more suitable custom color.
1. First, try to locate a new Start Color from the palette that is closer
than the original color.
2. Next, after finding a more suitable Start Color, write down that
color’s CMYK value. Here is how to obtain this value. There are
numbers under each color that are dependant upon which Step
Colors you chose. For example, it might say C:70 M:120. Take
note of these values. Then, at the bottom left of the Color Finder
palette you will see a full set of CMYK values. The new Start
Color’s CMYK value would be C:70, M:120 and whatever the YK
values are from the full set.
3. Lastly, plug the CMYK values for the new Start Color into the
boxes in Color Finder, choose your Step Size, and click on Print
Colors once again. Continue with steps 1-3 until you find your
desired color.
