PANTONE color card color matching system, the official name of the Chinese “彩通”. It is a world-renowned color communication system covering many fields such as printing, and has become the de facto international color standard language.
Color card is a communication tool for color, can be unified within a certain range of color assessment standards, mainly used in color-related industries and color selection, comparison and communication.
Color card as a standard reference to convey color information, in the process of color design, communication and reproduction have played a standard language. Users only need to flip through the color card against the color number to find out what the corresponding color of the color number looks like.
The role of color cards
Each brand color card standards are not the same, each country has its own standards for the evaluation of color, so in the use of color cards than the main role of the following points:
1. color number query: each color card will have its corresponding color number, will be based on different principles to form the color number, the user only according to the color number can quickly query the color of the color card.
2. physical comparison: object color comparison is commonly used in the standard light source color light box for testing. If there is no light box, you can also compare the color of the product and the color card under uniform natural light. However, it should be noted that, due to the light source on the color has a great impact on the color matching, color comparison in ordinary light, it is easy to occur inaccurate color matching.
3. instrumental measurements: the observer‘s own conditions will affect the results of visual assessment, the naked eye can distinguish the color difference is also a range of limitations, if you want to be more accurate than the color results can be detected by a precision spectrophotometric colorimeter.
The use of color cards
The color card plays the role of a standard language whether in color design, communication or reproduction production. In the actual process of spot-color mixing, each basic color is a specific ink, can be based on the formula of the ratio, respectively, weighing different qualities of spot-color ink for mixing, and then proofing or scraping samples, in the standard light source for the color on the color card color control, if there is a discrepancy, will be fine-tuning the amount of ink, and re-sample or scraping samples until the color meets the requirements, the record of the amount of ink ratios.
The three main functions of the color card: color, color selection and spot color matching.
Color: It is a process that both parties determine the specific color they want according to the color card and confirm the color.
Color selection: the designer selects the most appropriate color from the many colors in the color card and determines its color number.
How to match the color of the color card
Because the color standard of each industry product reference is not the same, in order to maintain the quality of the appearance of the color, it is necessary to choose a representative color to make a color card to be the reference color, in the conditions of the standard light source, the use of other color material mixing and blending to reproduce the reference color. This process of reproducing the standard color of the color card can be called color card color matching.
In the actual color mixing process, because the color card color matching is the result of color matching under the specified conditions, if the light source conditions change, this may lead to copy the color and the reference color differences between the color, want to adjust the light source after the change is still similar to the reference color color, the trick is to minimize the variety of colors involved in color mixing.
Color mixing: In the process of color reproduction, a color on the color card as a reproduction standard and reference for the process of color mixing.
