14. How can I make sure my blues do not come out purple?

 

When using a blue in your design, always make

sure to leave at least a 30% difference in your

Cyan and Magenta values.

 

100% C, 100% M, 0% Y, 0% K

Blue is close to purple in the CMYK spectrum.

Remember, use a low amount of magenta

whenever using high amounts of cyan to avoid purple.

 

               

        Example: C-100 M-70 Y-0 k-0
