  Apparently my client doesn't understand i can not in any way get the exact colour if they don't give me PMS name, Hex number or CMYK Value. simply sending me a scanned photo of their old business card does not give me enough information to get the exact colour! And every monitors displays colour differently! what i see and what you see will never be the same! give me the god damn original file already!

  how do you speak that in english?

  send him the link to any site like this and ask for the "color code".

  • good idea! let them choose the colour instead of playing colder or warmer....– pango

    So have them courier you a damn physical card then.– ETM2/3

    getting colours from a physical card is still not a preferred method. but If that's what i have to do...– pango3/3

  Get it close...get paid, don't sweat it...if they can't comprehend PMS or CMYK, I'm sure their beady eyeballs in their fat heads couldn't see any discrepancy.

  @ JackRyan
  Thanks but i hope it was that easy. I've been going back and forth with them 5 emails already. I seriously think their monitor isn't calibrated on any level. It was practically playing hotter or colder with colours....
