Due to demand Computer Color has been revised and expanded and now features 14,000 more process colours. A perforated card is included to facilitate matching colours and the book is spiral-bound for ease of use.

The colors you see on your screen will never match the colors in your prints exactly. CMYK printing is the standard in the printing industry. CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, black and is the color profile used in print. How choose the right color? A print test is necessary. First look at the print CMYK Color Guide. The color guide is an inspiration for design of your documents, graphic, brands, logos, books, covers... // Table of Contents: /Front page - 1 p. /Cards - 3-41 pp. (I: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black; II: Black-Cyan; III: Black-Magenta; IV: Black-Yellow; V: Cyan-Magenta; VI-XV: Cyan-Magenta-Yellow; XVI-XVIII: Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black; XIX: Text and Background; XX: Lines) /End page - 43, 44 pp. // Best regards and thank you for buying! :)

Color can be tricky when it comes to print versus electronics. Print uses ink to produce color, whereas electronics use light. Print uses a subtractive color model based on cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Electronics use an additive color model based on red, green, and blue. Due to these differences, print renders color differently in comparison to electronics. Vibrancy and color consistency between print and electronics will invariably differentiate. The degree of differentiation can range from a subtle shade to a different color altogether. There is no foolproof way to reconcile the color conundrum between print and electronics. The best solution to meeting color expectations between the two modes are hard copy color charts. The charts will not change the differences between the two modes. What the charts will do is allow a self-publisher to see how a color renders in print versus electronic sources. By knowing this, self-publishers can modify color choices to colors that will render acceptably well within both modes.

Colors are so universally used that every designer should consider when designing. They are so important that they to some degree decide the overall design. This book introduces two systems of printing colors--CMYK and PMS--in a plain way, explaining how they are produced and the principles behind them with texts and illustrations. Meanwhile, it showcases a substantial selection of projects for reader's well-rounded understanding of printing colors and their functions.

This updated, expanded, and oversized inspirational resource presents 1,100 color palettes, with light, bright, dark, and muted varieties for each one, making it the most expansive palette selection tool available. Color Index XL provides aspiring designers, artists, and creative individuals working with color with an indispensable, one-stop method for reviewing and selecting current, up-to-date color palettes for their creative projects. Designer and lecturer Jim Krause's classic resource is back with a new approach that presents each group of palettes in an oversized form for easy visual review, and bleeding to the edge of the page (edge indexing) for quick access. By providing variations for each palette, Krause ensures that creatives can find the best color selection for each project's needs. This book serves as the perfect resource for teachers, students, and professionals of all kinds in the art and design space who want to stay up-to-date on the ever-evolving trends in color.
