All of sudden, I can't pick color I want. when I pick the color I want, it goes back to darker color. Especially, in blue.
I'm working with CMYK cuz I need to print work out.
Can you help?

unplug your computer and then plug it back in.

haha yeah...then umm, put on some socks.

such a helpful bunch, the night crew...
maybe - and i'm guessing - the color you're picking is only possible in RGB and not available in the CMYK gamut.
i work mostly in round numbers i know will work in cmyk, or straight from the pantone cmyk process book.

pretty much delirious right now gorbie =) all nighters are fun...i'm working in illustrator too...but umm yeah try messing around with stuff....like you know..."messing around"

um,
I wanted to get #0033ff or close to it. isn't it available on CMYK too?
- Gorbie0
homie, you're talking apples and oranges.
to answer your question plain and simple - no.
you'll have to compromise.

to have round numbers you'll have to compromise..we can't have it all in life *sigh*

WTF,
We can't even have the pure blue?
What if your client wants their log with blue color?Man! I'm in trouble.
- menia0
I think that this blue is just ugly, its the only blue colour that I hate!So 80's, I dont know...
(no offence) If you cant do anything about it, start convincing your client that this colour is not that good, not serious, etc etc start talking about colour and its psycological effects, and convince him to use the other safe blue

you guys are on drugs.
at the time of the intial logo design - versions should have been created showing the logo in PMS spot colors, CMYK, and RGB. The idea is to pick color(s) that will translate properly accross a variety of mediums. if this step is neglected - the client and designer must make a compromise.
i don't know the specs of your project but the obvious answer would be to consult your pantone solid swatch book and find something there. keep in mind those are spot colors and not cmyk.
- jamesk6170
Oh! spot color?
could you explain more about it?
seems like the colors are the same.
I set the color type to spot color, but....still the same.
anyway, I don't like that blue either.
- jamesk6170
Hum....
I just can't get that bright color.
What should I do people?How should I convince my client?
- swollenelbow0
are you printing this?
- jamesk6170
yes of course.
I have to print this.
