Colors in Indesign

Hello,

 

My colors appear "grey-ish" and darker on InDesign and I can't understand why.

I believe it has something to do with RVB / CMJN but I don't get it.

For example, when i try do draw a line which should be in neon pink, it appears purplish. 

I want it to be neon pink directly on the file as well as on the pdf.

 

Can someone help me with that please ? 🙂 

 

Thanks a lot

That is RGB vs CMYK (and also spot) colours. How is your knowledge on colours gamut?

Some CMYK colours cannot be created.

Neon Pink might be one of these.

 

Try inserting your cursor into the RGB fields - this should change the Save Swatch option to RGB.

 

As long as it stays RGB it should be ok - but if you're going to print you're going to have to discuss these neon pinks with your print supplier.
