* Using the eye color chart

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by color-chart. Filed under Color Charts.


Ive had several email asking me to explain how to use the eye color chart available on this website so Ive done a little bit of research and found the following information that I hope will help you.

The human eye color chart is not an object that you come across in your monthly glossy magazine. Many do not know it exists. In fact, you can use the color chart to see what colors best enhance your natural beauty. Based on different color shades in your eyes, clothing can look different on you compared to someone else.

Step 1
Look in a mirror. What is the principal shade that sticks out. Most individuals have numerous shades, but there is typically one that sticks out from the rest. The eye color chart covers many separate variations, but you must know the main shade.

Step 2
Visit the eye color chart page on this website. There are in fact two of them on the page that are used at the same time. One uses a rainbow circle of colors and the other uses realistic eyes.

Step 3
Choose the image that most resembles your eyes in the main chart. There are so many diverse variations, so just pick the one that best matches your main shade.

Step 4
Look at the figure underneath that image and take that figure to the circle underneath it. Use this wheel to choose your additional hues in the human eye color chart. Now you can use this in order to decide on clothing, make up, or frills that go best with your coloring.

Finally
Although you can alter your eye color with contact lenses, Generally, you look your most beautiful with your original shade.

I hope that helps those people a little with the eye color chart

* Pantone – Communicating with color

Posted on February 17th, 2010 by color-chart. Filed under Color Theory.


Visual designers are accustomed to the numerous Pantone products that help designers make color choices, especially in print design. These goods are intended to generate stunning and precise color and consist of products such as the Pantone Color Guide and the Pantone Matching scheme. Many printing presses make use of Pantone colors that are exclusive inks produced and provided by this subsidiary of XRite. Pantone colors let designers make very precise shade choices that publish consistently each time. Pantone matching chips of color let visual designers to select from a fanlike book with hundreds of colors.

CMYK and Pantone Matching scheme.

Founded by Lawrence Herbert in 1963, Pantone is measured a worldwide influence on color. As an alternative to printers trying to accomplish constant colors with the trade standard of CMYK(cyan, magenta, yellow and black), the Pantone Matching scheme allows designers to select colors that they know will publish consistently each time. Pantones distinctive inks permit pure color to be used on presses more accurately than having the color built from scratch.

Pantone Branding intended for Designers

Pantone colors are used by illustrative designers, interior designers, fabric designers and manufacturing designers. Pantone has also pronged into retail products such as stationery, travel and rainwear. Pantone also makes an attractive birch cover chair in the form of a bent Pantone shade chip for$549. Pantone also makes USB Flash Drives in a variety of sizes presented in 15 distinct Pantone colors. Many corporations want these custom Pantone colors to guarantee branding effectiveness. A unique color design begun in print then has to transform to web design and stay constant in the change from CMYK to RGB.

Forecasting Color

More prominently, Pantone is recognized for its color forecasting. Although this may sound a bit like astrology or palm analysis, Pantone each year announces a Color of the Year. For 2009, the selected color was Pantone 140848 named Mimosa, which might be colloquially termed as an egg yolk yellow. From the website a quotation by Pantone Color Institute Executive manager, Leatrice Eiseman“The color yellow exemplifies the warmness and nurturing value of the sun, properties we as humans are biologically drawn to for comfort. Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks thoughts and innovation.” Truly? Can a color inspire innovation? Totally. Many industries as well as the fashion and makeup industries use the Color of the Year as visual queue for potential creations. Color forecasting by the Pantone Color Institute also operates in reverse in that Pantone keeps an eye out for what colors style designers are using and reports back on persistent color themes. Color can mirror the present culture in which we live.
