I've been designing web graphics for a long time, but I've been requested to print out some new work. The client presented me a printed magazine page and asked me to make her logo the exact same color as the one on the page. Is there a way I can get the values (not the color) on my computer so I can then print it out and get it to look like the magazine color? I'm talking about some tool, formula, magic trick!!

I know I should be better at working my colors, but I'm not quite! Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Thanks!

: Do logotype and lettering designers use programs like FontLab, Glyphs App and Robofont? From what I’ve seen, type-design-specific apps have tools far more superior for drawing letters than Illustrator.

Scan the document with a high quality setting. You will have to experiment with the setting. And then find the exact pantone which can be well related to the document scanned.

The magic trick is your eyes. Find a Pantone cmyk swatch book (or take it to your printer...they should have one) and find the swatch that matches.

FYI, a client should KNOW what specific color their logo is. If they don't, it likely wasn't professionally designed to begin with. Might be an opportunity to pitch them a logo refresh project.
