April is brought to you by Pastel Colors of Spring.

By Joyce Dalman, Tintbook

Colors blossom from Robin's Egg Blue, Pale Green Grasses, Violets and Wild Iris, all the way to Organic Browns.

Pastel colors are softer shades that, when built in CMYK, are not always reflected accurately on digital proofs or computer monitors (RGB). Tintbook CMK Color Guides show you the actual color that you expect to see on your finished printed project.

Pastels from Tintbook

The screen-tint values from Tintbook work identical in ALL your graphic design software.
