About DigitalColor Meter
You can use DigitalColor Meter to obtain the RGB (red, green, and blue) values your
computer uses to create colors and to magnify the pixels on your screen.
To begin working with DigitalColor Meter, follow these steps:

The DigitalColor Meter window opens.
2 For information on how to use DigitalColor Meter, click the Help (h) button in the
DigitalColor Meter window.
Specifying Colors Using the PANTONE Color Picker
In some application programs, such as the Color Picker or Appearance control panels, you
can use the PANTONE Color Picker to specify PANTONE colors, often used in producing
professionally printed documents. In these applications, the PANTONE Color Picker is
opened when a new color needs to be specified.
After the PANTONE Color Picker is selected (for example, in the System Color Picker control
panel), you can click a PANTONE color to select it, or type a PANTONE number in the text
box, and click OK.
Using ColorSync
ColorSync is Apple’s unique color-matching software that ensures the most accurate color
possible from input (scanner or camera) to display, and display to output (printer).
If you’re using a Mac OS–based computer, see Mac OS Help for information about color
accuracy and ColorSync. To open Mac OS Help, open the Help menu and choose Help or
open the Guide (h) menu and choose Mac OS Guide or Macintosh Guide.
Conserving Energy
You can use the Energy Saver control panel that came with your computer to tell the display
whether to conserve energy after a specified period of inactivity.
Note: You can save even more energy by turning the computer off if you won’t be using it
for a while—for example, overnight or over the weekend.
You can use Energy Saver with any Apple monitor that complies with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program. (Look for the EPA Energy Star logo
on the monitor box.)
