ABOUT COLOR SYSTEMS
When working with color images, the most common color matching system used is called RGB (Red-Green-Blue). This is widely used because all computer monitors use this system to produce color and it can reproduce a wide spectrum of colors. But in the printing industry the CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key/Black) color system is the process of choice, although the color range is much narrower.
Most graphics designers use the PMS or Pantone color matching system when designing logos. These colors are also known as "spot" colors because they are specifically mixed to produce a certain color. Although you can simulate CMYK values to these colors, they will not reproduce exactly the same.
InLight Gobos uses the CMYK color system to create full color gobos. Our process of making full color gobos produces colors very close to RGB and PMS colors, but since they have to be transformed into CMYK some of the colors can become paler due to CMYK's smaller color range. When producing many copies of the same image, a small variation in color can also occur between the copies.
