Hey guys,
What gives the below colors there luminance? Is it just that they are on a black background?
Has anyone got any close color codes (or coloring techniques) that would enable me replicate these colors?
Many thanks,
Josh
Embed the image in your Illustrator document, then use the Color Picker to select a single color at a time.
Then go over to your Swatches panel and click New Swatch.
When you click this it should already be loaded with whatever color you had selected, like below.
Now you can access this same red over and over again without losing its exact values.
Hope this helps you,
Michael
Hey mj, thanks a lot.
I tried eyedropping, saving the colors to swatches & applying to the shapes but as you can see in the picture below, the shapes look rather flat and less luminent than the original colors..
Thing the original image I is an rgb as when I try to create them as swatched it automatically choses the rgb setting to save them as.. so they were certainly applied as rgb's (does this count?!)
I tried eye dropping & applying from two areas of each of the original colors also (lighter & darker areas) but this didnt seem to make any different.. still looking flat.
Are there any other methods I can try to get the colors looking more luminent ?
