Printing the Color Sampler Charts

Overview

Color sampler charts are colored rectangles with each color’s component values; they help you select colors in an application that can be reproduced on your printer.

Component values are percentages of each color — CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), or HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) — that combine to make a particular color.
