FreeHand includes predefined spot- and process-color libraries that are part of
commercially available color-matching systems. Color-matching systems provide
printed and onscreen color swatches for designers and contain instructions for
print professionals so that they can print the colors you specify. Consult with your
commercial printer to learn which color libraries they support and recommend.
The following color libraries (all process, unless noted) are shipped with FreeHand:
•
Focoltone organizes colors by their common percentage of cyan, magenta,
yellow, or black.
•
Munsell colors are organized by hue, value, and chroma.
•
PANTONE spot colors appear in chromatic order.
•
PANTONE process (four-color and Hexachrome) colors are in chromatic
order, including process-color simulations of the spot-color library.
•
Toyo organizes colors first by hue and then by saturation.
•
Trumatch specifies process colors in small CMYK increments to avoid color gaps.
•
Web Safe is a library of 8-bit compatible color containing 216 colors named
after their RGB and hexadecimal values.
Custom colors display the name of the custom color library with a library-specific
color reference. PANTONE Hexachrome colors comprise two of the custom color
libraries in FreeHand. In the Swatches panel, these colors appear with hexagon-
shaped icons to the right of the color names.
