• Colors in visible spectrum can be broken into red, green, and blue (primary colors).– Primary colors cannot be reduced– Additive refers to the fact that the primary colors combine
to produce other colors– Red, green, and blue, when combined equally, produce
white light– True black is the absence of all light

Subtractive primary colors• Three things can happen when light strikes an object:
– Reflection – when light ‘bounces’ off the object– Absorption – when light is not reflected– Transmission – when light passes through an object

• Depending on physical properties of object, varying amounts of light are reflected, absorbed, and transmitted.
• Red, green, and blue light not reflected in equal amounts.
• Color is based on percentages of red, green, and blue reflected, and the color that combination of light produces.

• Cyan, magenta, and yellow are called subtractive primary colors.
• Each is produced by removing or subtracting one of the primary colors completely.
• Overlapping all three pigments would absorb all colors.

• Color printing uses the three subtractive primary colors plus black to produce a color image or tint.
• The standard color for paper is white.• Cyan, magenta, and yellow are manufactured to be
transparent.• The color you see on a printed page is light reflected off
the page.

• Illustrator is a vector-based drawing program.• Graphics you create are called vector graphics.• Vector graphics are resolution independent
because they are not comprised of pixels.• You can resize vector graphics without any
concern for quality.

• You can convert vector graphics to bitmap graphics by a process called rasterization.
• Bitmaps are comprised of a rectangular grid of colored squares called pixels.
• Pixels is short for picture elements.

Work in CMYK Mode
• Color models are mathematical algorithms that computers use to calculate and manage the color displayed on a monitor.
• Color models are RGB, CMYK, HSB.
![Page 27: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Work in CMYK Mode
• The color mode determines the color model used to display and print Illustrator documents.
• Two color modes offered in Illustrator:– CMYK Color – base for color printing – RGB Color – base for color in light-emitting devices such as TV
or computer monitor, and is the result additive properties of red, green, and blue.
![Page 28: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Work in CMYK Mode
• Color gamut refers to the range of colors that can be printed or displayed by a given color model.
• A good monitor can produce a color gamut of more than 16 million colors.
![Page 29: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Work in CMYK Mode
• Spectrum of color viewed by human eye is wider than any man-made method for producing color.
• CMYK model substantially smaller than RGB model.• Some colors you can see on monitor cannot be
reproduced by CMYK printing process.
![Page 30: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Work in CMYK Mode
• If working in RGB mode and choosing colors, Illustrator will warn you if a color is ‘out-of-gamut’ and can’t be printed.
• If image created in RGB mode and you convert to CMYK mode, Illustrator will automatically replace with closest CMYK counterparts.
![Page 31: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Work in CMYK Mode
Dragging sliders on the Color panel is referred to as “specifying” or “mixing” a color
• Tints are colors that you print by mixing varying percentages of CMYK inks.
• Lightest colors produced with the smallest percentages of ink.
![Page 33: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Specify Spot Colors
• Printing is based on the four process colors CMYK, but not limited to them.
• Working with tints can have problems so designers and printers use non-process inks to solve problems.– Color gamut of non-process inks are special premixed inks– Non-process inks offer consistent color through document
![Page 34: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Specify Spot Colors
Non-process inks referred to as:• Spot color: Refers to non-process inks print on ‘spots’ on
paper where process inks do not print• Fifth color: Refers to non-process inks printed in addition to
four process inks• PANTONE color: Refers to a manufacturer of non-process inks• PMS color: An acronym for PANTONE Matching System
![Page 35: Chapter11](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/54627a88af7959fe1b8b774c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
