    Just spent two hours trying to properly convert CMYK to RGB to match the right color...

    C=49, M=0, K=23, K=0

    On the screen...fucking hell!
    Wondering how the flyers and book cover will look like.
    Flyers will be printed in one print shop...the book by the publisher.

    Even if I could use Pantone, there would still be an issue.

    I already had forgotten about issues like this after 5 years without client printing jobs.

    • Web designer wanted the HEX codes, I was like "whatever"LOL!...oey_oey
    • CMYK always fucks up blues the most when converting from RGBCyBrainX
    • the first design was made in RGB because it was for screen only but client liked it so much it opted to have me design the flyers and book cover.oey_oey
    • so I had to redo the colors as I used Aqua (or RGB Cyan) first and there's no CMYK match. So I opted for this turquoise like Pantone 3252 but...damn!oey_oey
