Hi all!

I am working on my inlay for my first custom CPC set, and part of my design relies on color matching with the base and edge spot colors of the chips.
So far, I've just used the eyedropper tool in illustrator on a screen shot of the CPC chip design tool. This surely is the incorrect way to do it.

Does anyone have a swatch of colors (i.e. the HTML color codes, for example pure white is #FFFFFF) for the CPC chips that they use for this purpose? I know color-matching is often difficult, but I wonder if there is some database of the closest codes to use for the CPC clay colors.

Hopefully that makes sense!
Thanks everyone!
 
Using the eyedropper on the color swatches in the online tool is actually the best way during the mockup phase.

For the actual artwork to be printed, hit up David for some more accurate CMYK values. Mockups will look off with them in the online tool, but in print they turn out good.
 
Makes sense, thank you!
I will use what I have right up until I am ready to submit the artwork, then I will discuss with David :D
