The Importance of Consistency

This consistency is necessary to produce a very coherent and professional image for your potential Riverside CA. customers/clients. It’s important to brand a consistent image both in design and colors. Different companies use different machines for different products; depending on the colors that you have in your logo, it can be printed quite differently. For example; there are over 1000 shades of the color purple using the two color conversion, when you add in to that gradients, you can see where your logo can look quite different if the company does not print the logo correctly.

RGB vs. CMYK

Making sure that you have the right color set up for the media that you are using is essential for consistency.

RGB Colors create thousands of color combinations from Red, Green and Blue. Generally used for digital media such as websites and Facebook these colors are often represented vibrantly and can differ from monitor to monitor. If you have a logo viewed in RGB make sure to look at it on multiple monitors so that you can make sure you’re seeing a consistent color. At precision Sign and Graphics we use a base color chart that allows us to accurately select a color that can be easily reproduced in digital media so that the customer can be certain they’re getting consistency.

CMYK is more commonly used in print media representing cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). This system allows for a more accurate representation of colors across the board for print media whether it be on vinyl wraps or business cards. Because these colors are made more for a printer and not a computer monitor the colors will seem dull and faded at times when looking at the monitor, yet they will print vibrantly. This is also why it is important to use a professional graphics companies like Precision Sign and Graphics (serving the Riverside CA. area) because we will be able to provide you with a design that will work for both print and digital media.
