Section 7: Using the Epilog Dashboard
104
A Note About Colors! It’s best to use one of the six basic colors (red, green,
blue, cyan, yellow, magenta) when color mapping, because the values in Color
Mapping MUST match exactly the colors that are used in your graphics package.
The RGB color scheme uses numbers to define all colors and the six basic colors
have the following numerical definitions:
Color Red Color Value Green Color Value Blue Color Value
Red
255 0 0
Green
0 255 0
Blue
0 0 255
Cyan
0 255 255
Yellow
255 255 0
Magenta
255 0 255
The six basic colors are easiest to use because they only use combinations of 255
and 0 (255 is the highest number value and 0 is the lowest in the RGB color
scheme). Because all graphics packages use the six basic colors, this is easy to
do.
Your drawing program may use a CMYK palette to define colors. The Epilog
Color Map driver will automatically convert the six primary colors to RGB
values. If you want to use a CMYK color other than the six primary colors, you
will need to determine what the equivalent RGB color value is and convert that
color manually.
The Epilog Dashboard loads the six primary colors as presets for your
convenience. Any color can be added or deleted to meet your needs.
