Colours that print true: RGB and CMYK explained

Designers choosing print colours from a swatch book

Screens mix light (RGB), printing presses mix ink (CMYK). Some bright screen colours have no ink equivalent and print a little duller.

Design in CMYK when you can, avoid very saturated blues and greens for large areas, and use the online proof to check how your colours will print.

For logos with exact brand colours, tell us the Pantone reference in the order notes.
