    Very bright pure colors cannot be converted accurately from RGB to CMYK, particularly the bright greens in the Stabilo colors.  If your work will be printed on a printing press, you can use Pantone spot color inks, which would give you more accurate colors. You will find the spot inks libraries by choosing Color Books from the Swatches panel menu.

    Thank you Barbara for your kind advice, so I will use the Pantone Colors for the Stabilo Colors.

    RGB is a verly large color space while CMYK is a smaller one. You simply can't reproduce all colors in CMYK.

    Get yourself a printed CMYK swatches book and try to find the nearest color mix.
