  • CMYK bland color?

    Posted by Aaron on October 12, 2005 at 6:57 pm

    When I am sliding around on my color picker in CMYK some colors are not available. When I am sliding up to a bright red there is a warning sign that shows a duller red that is my only option. Can I fix that without going RGB. This is for a newspaper.

    Thanks
    Aaron

    Hot reds are especially difficult to reach in newspaper. CMYK has a much more limited color gamut because you are mixing pigments (print). RGB is mixing light (monitor).

    How come Illustrator can produce bright colors.
