RinWicked04 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Im working on a piece of art at the moment and i need a very saturated blue color. However, my blue section of the color wheel is faded. I can't manage to get the blue fully saturated. I have checked other pieces, and I can achieve a fully saturated color in other pieces. It just seems to be this one piece. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Edit: I went back and checked, and I can not fully saturate the blue anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toltec Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 You have the document set as CMYK and US Web coated ? It will never be very good on blues. See how CMYK can't reproduce much of the blue colour that RGB can. Are you using CMYK sliders or a CMYK Colour wheel ? That will help what you see slightly or change the document to RGB, if you can. If it will be printed, that is just what you have to live with with CMYK. Greens are even worse ! Better to see what the end result will be though, otherwise it will be very disappointing when printed. If you are designing for web, change to RGB. Quote Windows PCs.

I am designing this for the web and I was worried I would have to deal with the faded blues. Thank you!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
