• Next, determine what Step Size you want to apply to the Color Finder palette.

  ThisissimplyaquestionofhowmuchyouwantyourStartColortouctuate.

If your Start Color is close to the color you are looking for, use a low Step

Size. (i.e. 5-10) However, if your Start Color is not close to what you are

looking for, use a higher Step Size. You can enter any Step Size value

between 1 and 40.

• As an example, let’s say your Start Color is R:20, G:80, B:70 and you select

Blue and Red to be your Step Colors. You also enter a Step Size of 10.

When the ‘Print Colors’ button is clicked, your Start Color will be in the middle

of the Color Finder palette and from there each color will vary the Blue and Red

values by 10.

Colors you chose. For example, it might say R:32

G:80. Take note of these values. Then, at the bottom left of the

Color Finder palette you will see a full set of RGB values. The new

Start Color’s RGB value would be R:32 G:80 and whatever the

RGB values are from the full set.

3. Lastly, plug the RGB values for the new Start Color into the boxes

in Color Finder, choose your Step Size, and click on
