Description

Colour has the ability to instantly transform the look and feel of a graphic. In printing, there are two main colour systems that are used in producing colour in print: CMYK and PMS. CMYK is a subtractive colour model which works by masking colours on a light background. PMS, or Pantone Matching System is used for producing spot colours accurately. Together they are able to achieve almost any desired effect through complementary systems. This book demystifies their use while providing a breathtaking display of colour in print by some of the world's most talented designers.
