Hi to all vital graphic designers!
Need some help from you.
Got into graphic designing when i broke both feet last year cause i got a little too much time since i cant go riding
Now a friend of mine asked me to make a set for his YZ250 but i cant find any CMYK color code for the right Yami blue.
Can anybody help me out with the colour codes of the whole mx range pls?1

There are many factors in play:
1/ Media used for printing,
2/ then you have different printing profiles on you Printer to choose from,
3/ and also many custom settings to go along,
4/ quality & type of inks, etc.
So I guess everyone who has any experience with these kind of graphics had to figure out somehow their own way to get it done spot on. Honestly, the worst for me is KTM orange, especially when they changed the colour slightly between 13-14 and 16-17, etc. Its nightmare to match
Thanks for your response...
I got an almost yamaha blue in RGB but this doesnt work out with the printers...
And all the CMYK blue seems to me always a little purple-ish or to dark.
Maybe you can give me the CMYK code that you work with?! Would appreciate it...
Yeah i'm with you when it comes to ktm orange. They also got a diffrent orange from their kids sx range to their adults...

RGB is ok with printers, as it will be RIPped in a post process by printer's software. BUT don't judge whats going on on screen in terms of RGB vs CMYK gamut shown. The colour representation on digital media like screens is science on its own. Basically you need to try to print to see the real result.
So, I started around with C100 M95 Y0 K4, and then worked it out with different printer profiles, colour/contrast adjustments, etc. Some known brands of printers also have their colour library which you can print and match, it works sort of on Spot colour referencing, where your CMYK can have also for example M85,45 format or simialr, to get the right colour. But from experience this also always needs to be tweaked in profiling settings...

I'll try out some different blue tones and see which one matches the best with the plastics.
