Adjusting colors
Shift an out-of-gamut color to a printable color
Some colors in the RGB and HSB color models, such as neon colors, cannot be printed, because they have no
equivalents in the CMYK model. If you select an out-of-gamut color, an alert triangle
appears in the Color panel
or Color Picker.
❖
Click the triangle to shift to the closest CMYK equivalent (which is displayed in a small box by the triangle).
