I have an interesting problem. I opened design manual for one logo in Preview in mac. There was showed the colour of a logo with the numeric representation of that colour.

But when I picked the colour with Color picker, I have got a different colour number. See picture. Am I missing something or it is normal?

Thanks for a help.

It is normal and it should not be... but it is.

Every Corporate Image Manual should include what color profiles are being used.

In RGB mode probably you should stay witn adobe 1998, but try to experiment on the CMYK value depending on where you live, Europe or US.

One problem is that in US there are more profiles to choose from. In my opinion the basic one (and I do not mean limited, but as fundamental) is Swop V2. But they probably used some version of Gracol or some version of Fogra.

The problem is that yes, there is much discrepancy.

For now try to stick with the manual.
