The simplest to create hex color Swatch chart for the Web?

Hi, we have a Web site concept in Illustrator CS3, with nuances appointed for all colors. I wonder if there is a way easy or "semi-automatic" to generate a graph of the cookies we use, here showing hex values?

I know I could draw a bunch of boxes, fill them with the colors of the swatch and manually search and type the hex values for each. But it would a time LONG, there are a number of color variations.

-An automated for this solution? Actions? The scripts? Plugins?

Thank you!

... never understood why it's not default or why anyone would want colors NOT to be global...

I quite agree. Indeed, argued that for years.

It's even worse: model Illustrator Javascript foolishly think Global color chart is Spot color swatches. This alert is a simple script that checks the color property of the Swatch:

Download the script again and try now. Be aware that there is a glitch or two that you may or may not meet. If you run the script and you get an error saying something to the effect that 'name' can not be found this: dismiss the alert. Double-click one of the witnesses as if you want to change. Then close the Edit Swatch dialog box. The Hex names would probably then appear.

I have not yet found the cause of this. It happens always. I am not yet convinced that it is not a bug having to do with the Swatch Palette do not update. (There are other manifestations of this problem in Illustrator).

  • Problems with creating 3D photo tiles/logo for a Web site

    Hi all

    About 6 years ago, I found a great free site where you can create logos/tiles photo 3D fast and easy, with a picture or photograph.  Foolishly, I did not notice their web address and now I can't find it by tapping it, everything in the good old Google.  Fortunately, I have subscribed to Adobes Photoshop CC 14.2 version and I was wondering if you guys would know tutorials, I was able to create logos 3D/tiles for a Web site.  Or your own tutorials bit please? As it would be highly appreciated.

    The only way I can describe my created logo old 6 year/tile, is that it is 149 pixels pixels wide x 217 long and resembles a bathroom tile.  As he seems to have an invisible, internal frame that makes you think that image, is to jump on you.  If Adobe allows you to add images, on their thread with a host external photo, I'll try to add it to this topic.

    " < img src = ' http://I125.Photobucket.com/albums/p63/leosun848/Yes.jpg "border ="0"alt =" full Angel photo YES.jpg YES "/ > "

  • Using the keyboard to increment values in STL &amp; Hex color palettes

    Reach out to see if someone gets glitchy results trying to increment values in the STL & hex color palettes using their keyboard. I use 2015.2.1 on a Mac under 10.11.4. To be more precise, the works of hue but Saturation and brightness fail. None of the Hex field work.

    What is happening in the fields of Saturation and brightness are the numbers increment upwards once but then fail all following keys. Sometimes they will work only in one direction, incrementing, but fails then decrement. Hex fields fail to increment in total.

    The strange thing is that the fields of all other pallets work very well. This failure makes the colors to refine the most tedious. In addition, anyone else want to see a color STL for their LESS/CSS selector work?

  • Export of the correct Hex colors via script

    Hi all

    I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph via script style.

    I can get the fillColor of the paragraph style property and can also convert CMYK Hex. However, I realize that color in InDesign values in some color space of the document uses.

    My question is, is there a native API to convert the values of color for a web safe color value? If this is not the case, how can I go on the correspondences between colors?

    In addition, I see that Adobe knows internally to convert it to a good hex color (attached screenshot - note the color property in the export marking side). If I can't use some native API, is there a way to access the text in this pane?

    Thank you all in advance!

    Win! It worked!

    Here is the complete solution-

    Assuming that the original color is stored in a variable named color :

    var color = passedInColor; //the original color that we wish to convert.
    
    // Create a temporary color instance that we'll use to extract updated colorValues.
    var scratchColor = workingDoc.colors.add({
                             model: color.model,
                             space: color.space,
                             colorValue: color.colorValue
                        });
    
    // Now, we force adobe's internal color conversion mechanism to trigger by changing the scratchColor's color space.
    scratchColor.space = ColorSpace.RGB;
    var updatedValues = scratchColor.colorValue; // Updated values now has the properly mapped and converted RGB values.
    // You may need to round off the R, G and B values in the updatedValues array.
    // And that's it!
    

    Why am I not surprised that she should be a hacky autour work? * sigh *. It was so so so frustrating to work on this platform! I hope adobe gets his act together!

  • How is - what cut you a rectangle in 2 colors with a diagonal from top to bottom?  Once I draw a diagonal with the online tool I am at loss to create 2 color split?

    How is - what cut you a rectangle in 2 colors with a diagonal from top to bottom?  Once I draw a diagonal with the online tool I am at loss to create 2 color split?

    Rosemary,

    A simple way would be to:

    (1) give the rectangle a color, then Ctrl > Cmd + C + F;

    (2) use the direct Selection tool, and then deselect (click and empty space), then click on the opposite corner to the part where you want to keep the color, then press DELETE, then change the fill color to the other.

    Or, you can ClickDrag with the line tool along the diagonal line from corner to corner (guides are your friends), select it all and Pathfinder > divide, then select live from the triangle where you want to change the color and change.

  • See the current color Swatch

    Hello

    When we choose a color of the swatch group, it changes our foreground to this color swatch color.

    So maybe go us back in our paper and some paint. Now, let's say that we want to choose another swatch color, which is similar to the last swatch we chose, but just a bit darker. The problem here is that the last sample of color we clicked on does not remain highlighted in the swatches Panel, so we know exactly what we currently use. So if I want to choose a shade that is just a little bit darker that the one I use now, how can we know what shade to click on if I don't know I'm already on that?

    In other words, is it possible to establish a border or something around a shade that we choose, so that it remains "highlight", so it is easier to reference from when changing color using the Swatches palette?

    No, unfortunately not. The top example is only in CC and CC 2014. The Color Picker is as close as I get. You can still use the swatches Panel when the switch is open, and you can choose and compare samples in this way.

  • The most effective way to create this color wheel?

    The white line can be created by using the rotation tool or the transform command. In both cases, the degrees of rotation is determined by dividing the number of strokes by 360 degrees. Rotation tool, you can make a duplicate order to repeat the rotation, make sure that your rotation a copy not the original.

    Then it's you if you want the line color to match the background, or use the path search tools to cut the railways making individual piece of the wheel. This can be handy if you want to move a piece of the wheel outwards and resize it perhaps until drew attention to it.

  • What is the best way to match the Pantone PMS to CMYK color swatches?

    I am looking at colors Pantone swatch book for coated solid colors, but he should know that the best way is to match, as closely as possible, a tone direct Pantone CMYK color. Is it possible to see these side by side? or is there an equivalency in the book of PMS, as I remember them to be in the print version of the Pantone book (which also showed formulations of ink for different tones,) which shows the percentages of CMYK equivalents to better match a Pantone color? It would be better to be able to see the place and the CMYK colors side by side on the screen.

    It would be better to be able to see the place and the CMYK colors side by side on the screen.

    N ° it would be preferable to see the task ink and CMYK process inks-by-side on paper.

    It's why printed swatch books exist. I don't like what type of monitor you have, it won't look like a spot color ink. Period.

    Glow of monitors. Ink on paper doesn't work. The human eye is incredibly adjustable; So really can't trust your own eyes when you look at a monitor.

    Any monitor you use, it's always show you RGB. He can't do CMYK, and of course, he can't spot color.

    So when the game is so dang critical, you must have a hand book of shade printed Pantone and process printed swatch book. And the two swatch books are on a similar document.

    And if you expect to find perfect matches, you need to understand something very basic: many spot inks have no exact match to CMYK. You have to make Judgment calls.

  • How files and the appropriate label color PMS separate for screen printing

    Hello

    I have to present a document Illustrator for a silkscreen t-shirt and instructions ask that I have "label own PMS color you expect the ink on the finished design." I don't know what that means, and even less how to do it. I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how to do this. The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me! In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files. I know this means separate into layers, but it does not design in layers. If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    Could someone please help me with some details on this?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Mary

    .. .the instructions ask that «label own PMS colours...» I don't know what that means...

    This is an example of so-called 'experts' in the various industries of printing using inaccurate terminology that confuses potential customers, even when they are ostensibly trying to provide instruction.

    PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. PANTONE is a company that produces for commercial offset printing inks, and who publishes books swatch for these inks and color specifications. Because it has long been the player prevailing in this market for a very long before the general public graphic computers, he took the habit as a sort of de facto "standard" transmission of the colors you want. But isn't the only such system Pantone.

    To my knowledge, Pantone does not even produce screen printing inks (which are more like a painting, really). When people throw around the 'PMS' and 'Pantone' words like that, they often reveal their own misunderstanding of what really is Pantone. In all likelihood, the silkscreen that you use think Pantone Matching System is a kind of a standard universal color. They will most likely find the Pantone color number give you them, then either look at a reference or simply manually mix their screen printing inks for a match.

    ... I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how do...

    In most screen printing, your concern is to use spot colors in your design rather than process colors. PANTONE product specifications of colors for fairer inks spot. It produces references to the four-color, metallic inks and even fluorescent inks and inks. Different Pantone standards are represented in Illustrator as 'Libraries of nuances', which are accessible via the drop down Swatch palette menu.

    You can set any Color Swatch you use Illustrator as a spot color. When you do so, all this means is that, when the file is printed as color separations, each spot color is printed on its own plate of separation. "Plate" is a throwback term that refers to the plate on which are the images for individual inks in commercial offset printing. Silkscreen, a separate screen is built to carry the image for each ink used in the design.

    You can also name any Spot color swatch you define, using any name you want. The name has no functional effect on the printed result. Each plate separation of color is a black image, regardless. The actual color is determined by the actual ink that is loaded in the press (or serigraphy) when it is printed. That's why, when you are working in a program such as Illustrator for a project to print, you should not think in terms of inks, in terms of colors.

    For example: you can define a Spot color swatch in Illustrator. It can be set to display any color you want. You don't want to, of course, but in the interest of explanation, assume that you set the Spot color swatch to display in Illustrator as a green color. Then, you name than Swatch "Pantone 185", which is actually a red. If you now print the file as color separations to a PostScript printer (or "print" to PDF separate colors), everything to which you applied the named Swatch "Pantone 185" will be printed on a single sheet (or page PDF).» This sheet contains a picture in black and will be titled "Pantone 185.

    Actually, when you work with a local display store, I usually create tones color chart, and references to name them not according to Pantone (or other), but in the name of the actual brand of screen inks that will use the screen shop.

    So, really, your screen printer is just requiring you to build your design using a limited number of color swatches, with each defined as a spot color. He's still implying that you must name your swatches Spot according to the numbers of colors in the Pantone Matching System, simply because it is the library for the most familiar to designers color naming.

    The easiest way to do so is, for every ink that you want to print on the T-shirt:

    1. go in the Swatches palette flyout menu.

    2. select open Swatch Library > color books > Pantone Solid Coated (or solid Pantone unpaved; it isn't really very important to screen printing).

    3 scroll through the list and select the color you want. It will be added to the list of the nuances of your document.

    The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me.

    As someone else said, because your design is one color, you could simply design using the black one and then tell the silkscreen what color ink to use. But there are some caveats.

    You must print the as a composite file (normal, full color), not as separations. It is because if you simply use a shade that appears black on your screen, that swatch 'black' may in fact be built on a combination of RGB or CMYK values (depending on the colors in your document). To print separations colors can not result in a solid black on the black plate image. It goes same for design tips by using just one color. If you want the ink to be red, and you want to design using red, then red Swatch must be defined as a spot color. Otherwise, print as red as separations or composite will not give a solid black image.

    In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files.

    Once again, unclear. There is no such thing as a "separate Illustrator file." Any Illustrator file can be printed (or saved as PDF) as a color-separations. Once again, that the printer must be clear here, it is that you build your Illustrator file so that it can be printed as separations, with each split corresponding to an ink that is responsible in his silkscreens. In practice, this means just be sure to use only the color tones in your work.

    Yet once, this illustrates the fact that a technician working in a particular printing environment can be 'expert' in his shop, is not because he know didly on the software and the workflow used on the design front.

    For stores of the most banal local screen, the safest way to prepare an Illustrator file, which leaves nothing to question is:

    1. make sure you know how much different inks are used for printing design. (Don't forget: think inks; not "color".)

    2 build your design using nothing but the Spot color swatches and a Swatch for each ink. Do not use any process of nuances. In fact, recommended is to remove all the nuances that are not actually used in your design.

    3 ' print' an Illustrator, Adobe PDF document as "printer." (I think that you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed in order to view a selection of the printer Adobe PDF.) I don't know, because I am never without Acrobat Professional.) In the output of the print dialog pane, specify separations, not composite.

    This will result in a PDF file that contains a separate page for each ink. The image on each page will be black. That's exactly what the screen printing needs to print to 'positive film' (which nowadays are often translucent paper, not film) which it will use as masks then "burn" his screens.

    ... I know this means separate into layers, but I did not design it in layers...

    Do not confuse with layers color separation. They are totally independent functions. Layers is just a way to organize objects that you create in your file. Color separation is a print function. It occurs when you print to a device which includes the separation of colors (e.g.: a PostScript device) or when you export to a PDF of the color separation, as described above.

    It is a common misconception (miss-hypothesis) among beginners. Programs such as Illustrator may help you design with every object that is colored with ink of separation including residence in a layer that is dedicated to this particular ink, it would be absurd debilitating. Again, the layers is just a "fork" of the stack of objects in your file. These objects can be in any order on any number of layers and stacking. This has nothing to do with printing on color separations. (Stacking order comes into play when overprinting is involved, but even this does not yet require layers correspond to the inks of separation.)

    If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    EPS does not help. Think EPS is nothing but a file format that puts the contents of your Illustrator file in a 'black box' so that it can be "passed through" to the printer by programs that do not understand PostScript. If the content of your Illustrator file is built to target printing method, it will be the content of the EPS. Today, the PDF is more flexible and easier to work with than BPA anyway.

  • How to create a color?

    Hello

    All patched up FM12 Windows 8.1.

    I want to have the RGB color #2E74B5 to choose from. I tried or no success (see the video):

    1. Click on view > color definitions.
    2. Choose new color in the name list.
    3. The name of the color.
    4. Set the color in RGB.
    5. Enter my 2E74B5color value.
    6. The color I want shows in the new black box in the current zone.
    7. If I click on Create, Update, or fact, my color is not applied and my new color is black.

    Thoughts?

    See you soon,.

    Sean

    Hi Sean,.

    as far as I understand it is a bug, which was introduced in FM 12.0.4. According to the ReadMe 12.0.4 update has made several changes to the color dialog box:

    1. The following updates are implemented in the view-> color-> dialog Definitions:

      • The cursor moves according to the values entered in the red/green/blue text boxes.
      • The color Viewer is updated based on the value in the hex code of the color.
      • Now type integer RGB values instead of only the percentage values.

    I guess that somewhere in the mix of these three changes, certain values did not correctly defined. Also, I noticed that this isn't always falls back to the black, but 'last color. When you select first for example 'Forest Green' then 'new color', you start with RGB (33,138,33). Then paste it into 2E74B5 and click Update, and it will be for "Forrest Green".

    There is also another bug related to this: when you enter the Hex color code preview looks correct, cursors are defined, the RGB values are correct. Now just change the RGB values, and you will notice a 'very different' bruise will appear.

    Workaround solution:

    1. Create a new color.
    2. Type/paste in the HEX value. Don't forget the three specified RGB values (in your case: RGB (46,116,181)).
    3. Click on create. He returned to the black.
    4. Now, enter the three RGB values manually.
    5. Click Update.

    Or just directly enter the RGB values instead of a hexadecimal value.

    Solved in FrameMaker 2015:

    This bug has been fixed in FrameMaker version of 2015.

    See you soon,.

  • Selection of color CC DW - color standard chart tools?

    Hello

    I just started using Dreamweaver CC.  I read the book CBWMS digital classroom.  When the instructions in the book like me to go into designer of CSS and set a color or a background color, the book made it sound like if I click on the color chart in CSS designer, I should be presents a selection over base colors or standard.  Instead, I am presented with a selection tool that allows me to click on a gradient that allows me to choose among all the possible colors.  It is therefore difficult for me if I want to stick to the basic colours or standards.  Is there a setting in DW CC that controls this behavior.

    Thanks in advance,
