Color Matching

Ensure your designs maintain intended hues from screen to print

Why Colors Look Different in Print

Screen (RGB)

Red, Green, Blue

Additive light-based color

Computer monitors use RGB light to create colors. Screens have a larger color range than printers can reproduce.

Print (CMYK)

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key

Subtractive ink-based color

Printers use CMYK ink. When RGB files are converted, color shifting occurs because some colors can't be reproduced.

Watch: Why Colors Don't Match

Your browser does not support the video tag.

The Result: Files submitted in RGB format will experience color shifting when converted to CMYK for printing. Bright, vibrant screen colors may appear more muted in print.
