The medium is going to be printed on a digital system.Yes, it is a correct process if you know what are you doing. There are other self-imposed limitations like do not expect a C1% to be really printed. This number is defined by the print system, normally 300%-330% as the maximum. The limitation is the TAC or Total Area Coverage. But easily you can choose a color between two samples. The test image I linked has 20% increments because I am lazy and did not want a super detailed reference. In light colors, you will notice a 5% increment more than in dark colors. You can limit yourself to multiples of 10%, or 5% for example. But you will hardly notice the difference between C49% and C50%, so you can make your life easier by limiting the numbers you use. You are not limited to a value of C50%, you can use C49%, C48% or whatever number you want. So, I am assuming you refer to "randomly" to the values, not the chosen palette. Then they can limit the palette to 3-6 colors for example. Sometimes people could prepare a defined palette, because they want to focus the design harmony on a set of colors, instead of a chaotic party of millions of random colors. ![]() When I use the CMYK system to pick colors, can I pick colors randomly? Which gives you CMYK values of a set of originally defined Pantone colors. The most popular standardized system is "Pantone Bridge". The purpose of these things is to have a physical reference of how a color looks when printed with (I repeat) a specific system. (I can't find my CMY chart, because I don't use it much) I usually use one I made for example when I am using a new color printer in the office. Having a physical catalog of well-defined values and a combination of inks for a specific system is recommended. Only if they have a physical print delivered to you as a reference it can work. ![]() If their system is only web-based, it has not much sense.
