Hi,
I would like to get some pots of ordinary emulsion paint in the primary colours, i.e. cyan, magenta, and yellow, as used by printers and as easily specifiable in RGB for computer monitors.
The thing is, I need the colours to a high degree of accuracy.
I understand that conversion between the Dulux/ICI codes (or the NCS ones from which they are scrambled) and RGB/CMY codes is not publicly available, so what I will do is get a printer to print out primary C, M, and Y and then take them along to somewhere like B&Q to be scanned with a colour meter. However, I suspect that there may be a big gap between the required colours and the best available matches, since Dulux/ICI probably don't want to encourage people to mix paint.
Any advice would be welcome. Simple question really - how to get pots of primary-colour emulsion paint! :)
Many thanks.
Cheers,
Chris
