Tolerance Settings for Magic Wand Tool in Adobe Illustrator

[Ghulam Mohyuddin]

I am seeking a detailed understanding of how the tolerance settings work with the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator for both CMYK and RGB color modes.

CMYK Tolerance Calculation:

• Reference Color: CMYK (70, 0, 100, 0)
• Tolerance: 20%
• Could you please specify the range of color values for each channel (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) that would be selected with this tolerance setting?

  RGB Tolerance Calculation:

  • Reference Color: RGB (255, 81, 47)
  • Tolerance: 30
  • Could you provide the range of color values for each channel (Red, Green, Blue) that would be selected with this tolerance setting?

    Tolerance Application:

    • Does the Magic Wand tool apply tolerance settings to each color channel individually, or does it use a combined average of all channels to determine color similarity?

Your insights on these queries would greatly assist in understanding how the Magic Wand tool processes color selections with varying tolerance levels.
