V. The ChromaBlast Custom Palette
Let us assume that you have found the exact color you need using the Color Finder Tool.
What you will want to do next is apply these custom color values to either an existing
palette, or to create a new custom palette altogether. This allows you access to this color
again should the same job arise.
How to use Custom Palette:
• First, you need to assign the CMYK values of the matched color from the Color
Finder Palette to the Output Color CMYK fields in the Custom Palette section.
• Give your new custom color a descriptive Name in its designated field
(e.g. IBM Blue).
• Next, assign an "RGB Input Color" Value. There are two methods to establish
this value.
1.
If you have the original file, sample the color that was matched in your graphic
design application with the eye dropper tool. This will give you the RGB value
of that color. Input this value into the RGB Input Color fields of the CustomPalette
Section.
2.
If you do not have the original file, or the artwork has not yet been designed,simply
click on the 'Input Color Chooser' button, and then click on "Define Custom
Colors". From the color matrix, find a color that closely resembles the color
that you are adding to the custom palette. At the bottom-right of the colormatrix
window are the RGB values. Simply click 'OK' and the RGB InputColor values
will be automatically entered. Please take note of these RGB values for later use
in your design applications.
• Click the "Add Color" Button. A window will pop up asking you whether you
want to add the color to the palette for all substrates, or just the currentsubstrate.
Click 'YES' here unless you have the same custom color saved on palettes for
other substrates. Another window will then ask you if you want to save the
custom color for all resolutions or just the current one. Click 'YES'here unless
you have the same custom color saved on palettes for other resolutions.
• Lastly, click the "Save Palette" Button. When finished, simply Exit out of the
window.
VI. Adding Swatches to your ChromaBlast Application Palette:
It is possible to add your custom color(s) swatch to an application palette as well. You
will need to take note of the Input Color RGB value that you assigned in the previous step
in order to create the new swatch. Refer to your specific design application software's
manual for instructions on this.

The 'Import Palette' and 'Export Palette' Buttons are convenient to
have in the event you need to transfer palettes to and from different
computers.
