Hey Bernhard, not shure, if you really understood the problem:
It is not the color RGB (24,136,3) - this is the same value in Adobe CS by opening Logo-File (png, jpg or svg). But again, RGB is not for printing! Real world uses CMYK Colors. So, when I change to the RGB Color to CMYK, value is: 79,0,100,0 in Adobe CS. Your branding-color table calls CMYK (85,0,98,36), which is real darker then the RGB color! You understand the missmatch? I can use your CMYK (85,0,98,36) or I can use your RGB, which is CMYK (79,0,100,0). Both are different! My personal opinion: I will use CMYK (79,0,100,0), which appears nearer to the green in Web :-) Best regards Thomas Am 27.01.2011 02:09, schrieb Bernhard Dippold: > Hi Thomas, all, > > CC'ing the design list as I think this topic should be discussed there. > > Thomas Krumbein schrieb: >> Hey folks, >> >> it´s me again - I still do not have an real answer regarding colors. > > Sorry - but as I don't possess Adobe CS4, I can't reproduce your problem. >> >> We now have to do the printing for CeBIT 2011 - and I like to get an >> clear answer from all those people, who have made the color "branding >> guidelines". > > Christoph Noack is the one who provided these colors - based on some > thoughts from the design team. >> >> Unles I do not get an clear answer here, I will decide the colors for >> myself - and than I will use CMYK 79, 0, 100, 0. > > I don't understand what's the problem with the values written on the > wiki site.
