Color Chooser Dialog Window
• To use Color Chooser, simply click on the‘Start
Color Chooser’ button in the “Color Finder”
Section, at the top right of the “ChromaBlast
Custom Palette Utility” Window. You can then
choose a color from the basic color selection, or
you can click on the Color button at the right of
the window. This will display a color matrix. To
define a custom color, click anywhere in the matrix.
Use the slider at the right of the matrix to adjust
luminosity. Clicking ‘OK’ will automatically fill the
RGB boxes with the corresponding values. (Fig. 3)
• For advanced users, RGB values can be
determined by printing out a Custom Palette,
which is outlined in the next section.
‘Step Colors.’ For example, starting with navy blue with a CMYK value of 60,60,0,40
and choosing two step colors (e.g. cyan and magenta) would expand the original navy
blue in four directions (more cyan, less cyan, more magenta, and less magenta). This
expanded color chart – specific to a particular substrate and printing speed – is outputted
directly to your printer.
