A new tool for all users who would like to work and design with the universally valid independent CIE Lab color system. The new fans display the hues in the LAB and LCh color spaces that can be realized in 4-color offset printing. The selection covers the color space systematically and also includes the RGB, CMYK and Hex color values for use in layout programs.
The fans have been created in 4-color print (cmyk) under strict compliance with the process standard (PSO, FOGRA39 profile). This achieves a medium ΔE < 4. Printed on matt-coated art paper 170g/m², the reference illuminant for visual selection is D50.
CIE HLC Color Fan:
Contains 1032 hues that can be displayed in regular HLC steps in four-color print to allow colors to be selected intuitively and systematically. The colors in the fan are graded from 010 to 360 according to hue.
CIE LAB Color Fan:
Contains 986 hues in that can be displayed in regular Lab steps in four-color print to allow Lab color values to be easily determined. The colors in the fan are graded according to lightness from L 95 (lightest colors) to L 15 (darkest colors)
The CIE LAB and CIE HLC fans are delivered together as a set.
