proper red

22 November 2007 11:08

Hi,

I'm new here so hello everyone...

could anyone please give a pantone spot colour or cmyk spec for a proper red, I've trying to get a proper red/blood red and it either comes out too orange or to dark...any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi

Hay Mike welcome to the site, I have just bought a Pantone Colour Bridge Swatch and although they are quite expensive if you just started out they are a bit of a must to avoid dissapointing results. It gives the Pantone colour and the closest CMYK value both printed side by side.

I would go Pantone 485C or CMYK value C0 M96 Y100 K0

Hi.
I'm new too, so hello.
Have you thought of getting a pantone colour guide? I managed to pick one up very cheaply on ebay (US site)
