Colours


It is good to reuse colour throughout your document.  You can do this by making colour from a picture you are using a 'swatch' so you can use it easily.  To do this you can use to dropper to select the colour you want then saveing it into your colour pallet.  You can also find more colours by making them yourself or selecting a group of colours from 'kuler'.  In Kuler you can search topics to find colours for that subject, e.g. beach, then download them into your colour pallet.


RGB and CMYK are two different colour schemes used.
When you download an image off the internet it will be a JPG and RGB.  RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue.  CMYK stands for Cyan (blue), Magenta (pink), Yellow and Key (black).  CMYK is best for printing and RGB is best for the internet. When you get colours from Kuler or photos from the internet, they will be in RGB so they will need to be changed to CMYK to get the best results if you are going to print them.
