RGB vs. CMYK
Ensuring that you have the right color set up for the media that you are using is essential for consistency.
RGB Colors create thousands of color combinations from Red, Green and Blue. Generally used for digital media such as websites and Facebook these colors are often represented vibrantly and can differ from monitor to monitor. If you have a local viewed in RGB make sure to look at it on multiple monitors so that you can make sure you’re seeing a consistent color. At Bull City Signs we use a base color chart that allows us to accurately select a color that can be easily reproduced in digital media so that the customer can ensure consistency.
CMYK is more commonly used in print media representing cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). This system allows for a more accurate representation of colors across the board for print media whether it be on vinyl wraps or business cards. Because these colors are made more for a printer and not a computer monitor the colors will seem dull and faded at times when looking at the monitor yet they will print vibrantly.
