Color Shotgun is a color tool for printers to quickly create targeted color charts for matching colors on printers. Perfect for matching customer supplied samples or spot colors on different media even when you don't have the correct color profiles.

Using the color shotgun you select a target color such as a Pantone, RGB or CMYK color as a starting point, then the Color Shotgun PowerScript will generate a number of swatches near that color. Print out the targeted color chart and choose the best match. You start course then repeat the process using finer settings to zero in on the color using an iterative approach.
