All,

I’m looking for pointers to a good online or hardcopy "color wheel". I’ve started reading "Professional Photoshop" by Margulis and I want something that will help me remember the rules about doing this to remove that kind of color cast. Since he’s focusing on CMYK to start, I’d like to see that kind of wheel, but would also like an RGB. The one in the photoshop help is decent but not big enough…

Surely someone has produced color wheels & cheat sheets on this stuff?

Thanks!

Wes, thanks much. This is the best I’ve seen yet. The only thing better would be something that also covers more of the greys. But this is excellent.

Dick,

CMYK by steps of 10 units (of 100) for each channel delivers approximately 14500 colors – too much for a wheel but no problem for a swatch book:

For offset printing you may buy a printed swatch book e.g. for EuroScale Coated or SWOP.
The on-line swatch book, printed by YOUR printer, will show how your printer prints CMYK by numbers.

Best regards –Gernot Hoffmann
