What are the best CMYK colour values to achieve royal blue?

Posted by Hugh Potter on 3 December 2020 at 17:03

As per the title, I’m looking for the best CMYK values to match something like Oracal 551-057 Traffic blue, any suggestions gratefully received and tested.

Thanks
Hugh

I know this is 970, but the same one?

I am sure I have the colour values for this on our Pallet. I will have a look in the morning Hugh, and post here.

  Hi Rob,
  
  Yes, pretty much that, a good strong blue, I have a good range of light and dark blues that I’ve made myself and added to the palette but getting decent mid blues is hard!

Hi Hugh

Sorry for the slow reply mate, but we are chocka-block busy just now and I forgot to check earlier today.

Please see attached photo taken next to a printed sign we did, alongside the Oracal 970 Traffic Blue. It’s not an exact match to the 970 but it is close and gives you a nice strong blue for things like Healthy & Safety signs etc.

RGB Colour Values are:

R: 255
G: 0
B: 0

Printed on HP Latex 360.
