DOCUMENT:Q86445 15-APR-2000 [powerpt] TITLE :PPT: Equivalent Values for Genigraphics Colors: CMYK PRODUCT :Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows PROD/VER:MACINTOSH:2.0,2.01,3.0,4.0; WINDOWS:2.0,3.0,4.0,4.0a,4.0c,7.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbgraphic ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c - Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, versions 2.0, 2.01, 3.0, 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Microsoft PowerPoint, versions 4.0 and earlier, include a table of predefined colors called the Genigraphics color palette. These colors are the ones most commonly used in PowerPoint. Like all colors in PowerPoint, they are represented internally by RGB (red, green, blue) values that can range from zero through 65,535. Some applications represent their colors using CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) values. These values are typically represented as percentages. The following table provides the approximate conversion of the PowerPoint RGB values to the CMYK percentages. The table includes all the predefined Genigraphics colors as well as the standard VGA pure colors. NOTE: PowerPoint 7.0 does not use the same color naming scheme as PowerPoint versions 4.0 and earlier do. In addition, PowerPoint 7.0 uses a scale of 0-255 instead of 0-65,535 for representing RGB values. MORE INFORMATION ================ PowerPoint 7.0 -------------- PowerPoint is abbreviated as PPT in the following tables.
