===================================================================== > ORACAL 970 Colour palette for Illustrator, version: 2010-02-01 ===================================================================== Read me! Version: 2008-12-23 Description: ===================================================================== ORAFOL provides Colour palettes for selected products and for prevalent graphic programmes. Using these palettes the desired film colours may already be selected in the design process. Thus it is easier in later steps to reproduce your colour selection. The palette is a powerful design tool which allows the selection and handing on of desired colours without needing further jobtickets. The single swatches are always sorted according to the scheme Colour number (Product series No.), e.g.: "020 (551)" = colour 020 of the series ORACAL 551. Please compare the Colour numbers and the corresponding Colour names with the optical impression of the colours on our Colour cards. Please also use our Digital colour cards online: http://www.orafol.com/?id=236&L=1 Practical Information / Disclaimer: ===================================================================== Orafol Europe GmbH does not provide any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, associated with the use of these profiles, and is not liable for any loss or damage incurred pursuant to the use of such profiles. The accuracy of the presented colours depends on the used hard- and software. The colours may deviate from the original product.

Technical details: ===================================================================== ORAFOL Colour palettes are provided in the L*a*b* colour space, alternatively in sRGB. The colour values of film colours are calculated to comply with the colour effect at D50 light. (D50 is the white point for most proofing methods and is best calculated by most graphic applications.) The white point of palette colours, however, does not depend on that but complies with the corresponding white point of their colour space. (for sRGB e.g. D65).
