Hi there,
I'm trying to get to grips with all these colours in ConTeXt and
MetaFun ... What I'd like to get is a document with CMYK and spot
colours only, so here's my attempt:
---
\enableregime[utf]
\noheaderandfooterlines
\setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,spot=yes,state=start]
\definecolor[PANTONE328CS] [c=1,m=0,y=.52,k=.11]
\definecolor[PANTONE428CS] [c=0,m=.02,y=.09,k=.14]
\definecolor[my_green] [PANTONE328CS][p=1]
\definecolor[my_lightgreen] [PANTONE328CS][p=.5]
\definecolor[my_grey] [PANTONE428CS][p=1]
\definecolor[my_mediumgrey] [PANTONE428CS][p=.8]
\definecolor[my_lightgrey] [PANTONE428CS][p=.5]
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\starttext
\section{CMYK colours}
\startcolor[cyan]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[magenta]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[yellow]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\section{Spot colours}
\startcolor[my_green]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[my_lightgreen]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[my_grey]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[my_mediumgrey]
\input ward
\stopcolor
\startcolor[my_lightgrey]

However, I encountered a few oddities. I could separate the channels
c, m, y, k via
texexec --separation=c file.tex
etc. but on the individual channels c, m and y the black headings as
well as all spot colours kept appearing. Shouldn't the cyan channel
contain only cyan and nothing else?
Also, I have no clue how to separate the spot colours ... Both
texexec --separation=PANTONE328CS file.tex
and
texexec --separation=my_green file.tex
spilled out tons of error messages. What could I improve to make this
work?
Cheerio,
Oliver
