Message-ID: <20150404113110.GN9095@darjiling> (raw)
Of and on, I have struggled to find a colour space that is expressive
enough for printing, but convenient to access through ConTeXt for
day-to-day usage. I find with X11 that the emphasis on screen skews the
colours to be brighter than what is desired, especially if one is
dealing with coloured stock---say beige kraft---as I am doing with my
current bit of typesetting.
In this process I have come across the RAL colour space:
http://www.ral-farben.de/content/application-help/all-ral-colours-names/overview-ral-classic-colours.html
whose values can be conveniently (sort of) accessed at:
http://rgb.to/ral/page/1
For my immediate needs, I have simply created a set of:
\definecolor[<colourName>][h=HHHHHH]
However, I am wondering if it might make sense to have a
colo-imp-ral.mkiv? So my questions would be:
1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What
would be disadvantages, if not?
2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already?
3. If not, would others find it useful to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? If
it doesn't then I would be happy to prepare one and submit it.
Many thanks.
