Brand Color Management

Consistent brand color management

The association between your brand and its colors is critical to your brand recognition.

Color inconsistency is often perceived by consumers as an inferior product.

Most of today's brand color guides are flawed, ambiguous or incomplete, despite their importance.

This leads to a lot of discussion and unnecessary reprints that cost a lot of money, especially when it comes to packaging.

MYIRO is the right solution to help you communicate your brand colors in the right way to all stakeholders in the printing industry.

The tools and pre-defined workflows are specially designed for this purpose!

The Project BBCG explains in a very user-friendly way how to get rid of ambiguous color definitions.
The proposed workflow is implemented in MYIROtools.

Reflectance spectrum

The definition of color

Color is a human sensation.

But it's impossible to communicate this sensation unambiguously by naming it.

Even communicating P-numbers is not a definition of this sensation.

The best way to communicate the sensation is to share the reflectance spectrum of the sample that the designer has chosen.

For a Better Brand Recognition

Manage Emotions

The recommended way to define a color to be used for a Brand is to use spectral data. Spectral data are the result of a measurement using a Spectrophotometer like the MYIRO-1.
Together with MYIROtools it is very easy to create the necessary files to communicate the data to designers, prepress and print.

Let's see a
Brand Color Management Workflow

  • 1

    Pick a sample

    The designer selects a color which corresponds to the emotion he wants to communicate in marketing.

    Pick a sample
  • 2

    Measure the sample

    Using a spectrophotometer like MYIRO-1 the emotion is translated into physics.

    Measure the sample
  • 3

    Create ASE & CxF

    The measured values are exported into Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) and CxF (Color eXchange Format).

    Create ASE & CxF
  • 4

    Design with ASE

    The ASE file gives designers the possibility to use the agreed colors in their designs.

  • 5

    Create ink recipe / Print with CxF

    The spectral definition of the CxF files are used to formulate spot color inks or to accurately print the brand color in digital printing workflows.

The spectral definition helps to accurately translate the physics back to emotion.
Color Management becomes Emotion Management.
