About These Color Models
    HEX
    HEX just another version of RGB. It is typically used in computer code, like websites and other software. It is always a 6-digit number and it may have either letters, numbers, or both. Most popular graphics software, such as Adobe Photoshop, offer HEX as an option for choosing color. Our system will recognize any HEX number, so you may enter any desired HEX number in the provided field. The pound symbol (#) is optional in this field.

    RGB
    Since RGB and HEX are really the same thing, you may enter any desired RGB number in the provided fields. The number range for each of the R, G and B fields is 0-255. We simply convert your chosen RGB color to HEX for display.

    CMYK
    CMYK (or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) are the printing colors that we use to print your bottled water label. This color model is also very typical for the traditional printing of brochures, posters, catalogs, etc. Some people use this color model to describe their desired color because they are already using the same color model for other printing projects. To use this color model, simply enter the values, for 0-100 (this is %), in increments of 25, e.g., (0, 25, 0, 0) or (50, 25, 75, 0) or (20, 0, 50, 25), etc.

    PANTONE (PMS)
    PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. Pantone is the most popular of these color model options. Since we print our bottled water labels on a gloss-coated material, we support all Pantone colors from the “Pantone Solid Coated” specifier book, e.g., all colors end in “c” but this “c” is optional in the input field. Please do not enter the word Pantone or PMS before the number. Only the number is required.

    Currently, this particular Pantone color model is a list of approximately 1,200 PMS colors, and it includes numbered Pantone colors, named Pantone colors, e.g., Rubine Red or Reflex Blue, Hexachrome colors, as well as multiple grays, and blacks.
