If you have a large format printer, having a good color chart is extremely useful to find color matches to physical samples. However finding a good color chart is hard, Standard charts such as Pantone don’t have enough colors, and standard CMYK color charts are not logical.

• Hue based colors charts are superior to standard RGB or CMYK color charts:
• Hue based charts are easier to find a color, as it’s how your brain thinks about color, lighter-darker, more or less saturated.
• The lightness and saturation are nonlinear and are in finer steps in lighter and grey colors where the difference between colors are more noticeable.
• More of the color range is covered, on default settings, there is usually only a 5 DeltaE or less difference between colors, If your printer can print the color .
• RGB charts are perfect for Hi-Fi CMYK+ printing where you can specify a larger gamut.
• It’s easy manually average the formula from two adjacent colors for even closer match.
• LCH charts translate easily to Lab colors.
