- A Pantone swatchbook is what printers use to make sure that a printed
- graphic's colours are correct. Graphic designers use them to determine correct
- colours for use in documents because of the incorrectness of screen
- calibration. I believe the books range from $50-$70. For what you're doing
- though, PMS (Pantone Matching System) colours aren't your concern, just RGB. I
- don't know for certain whether or not they make an RGB book (I would hope so),
- but they do have a CMYK book (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, & blacK). Call some of
- your local printers or output bureaus and see what information they can give
- you. Yazza!
