Color matching concepts
Color matching is quick and easy when you understand the following concepts used on the
Gerber ColorID dialog box:
♦ The word source refers to two elements − materials and colors.
♦ The Source Palette/Device is the material source of the original color that you want to
match. The material sources of color (the palettes) are the vinyls, foils, and other
materials displayed in the drop-down list.
♦ The Source Color is the color that you want to match.
♦ The Matching Target Palette is the material you are using to match the Source Color.
The two material sources of colors (the palettes) are the vinyls and foils displayed in
the drop-down list. Each source palette contains many colors that ColorID uses to
match to the Source Color. In other words, you choose the palette and the program
determines the color matches.
Assigning the colorimeter COM port
If you are using ColorID with a colorimeter, you must assign the same COM port in ColorID to
which your colorimeter is physically connected.
To assign the colorimeter COM port

dialog box.
