Shades Color Swatches is an inexpensive tool should be in any designers hands... learn what to expect when specifying one of the default colors shown in Adobe Illustrator (or load the same colors into Adobe Photoshop). Learn why 'CMYK Blue' does not print blue, how bright the 'Brights' colors actually print in CMYK, and to see all the levels of Black or 'Grays'... Once you have an idea of what you can expect, the better you learn on how to adjust your artwork to get the desired affect on your printed projects.

Review: Great Tool for Redecorating - Im a graphic designer for festivals, but I decided to purchase this set to help me with redecorating and repainting my home! They’ve worked great! I knew I wanted to do some sponging on my walls in my office and I’d be toying with a whole bunch of colors, so instead of going to the hardware store and getting one of each of the paint chips, I was able to use these cards to go back and forth and back and forth. And then I took my card to the paint section of the store and they made my paint to match! And on top of that — I also know the CMYK value of the paint on my walls! Any and every designer should have a pack of these— they’re great!
Review: Excellent product to see how these default colors will look printed. - The only reason that this product has received critical reviews, is because the buyer didn't fully understand what they were getting. This product is not a replacement for the proprietary Pantone Swatches. This product contains the default color swatches in Illustrator and Photoshop with 11 tint variations of that color swatch (100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5). With this product you will see 54 colors, with 11 tints/shades. What I really like is you can see it on glossy (UV coated) or on matte. It is excellent for quickly seeing how these color will print.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for printed products
*by D***P on October 8, 2019*

I create product labels and banners for my business. Printers and screens are basically RGB and the colors don't always come back from the printing company the way I expected. Since the businesses I use request CMYK, with this swatch I'm able to tweak all the colors I use to what I really want to see in print.
