COLORS - CMYK vs RGB
"Why are the colors on the logo on my business card different from my website?", you ask. This happens because your computer monitor uses RGB (red, green, blue) to mix the rainbow spectrum of colors, whereas printing (offset & digital) uses CMYK inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Mmmm, why on earth is black K? It actually stands for Key Black - and old printing term (giving away my age aren't I). Your business card may have been printed using a Pantone color system (affectionately known as PMS). Bla, bla, bla... see below for more info on Pantone.
In conclusion - it will NEVER be EXACTLY the same but we will get it as close as possible!

WEB SAFE COLORS
Browsers (Explorer, Firefox, Safari) can only read a certain amount of colors because in the old days (yes a few years ago IS the old days in the world of the web), computers monitors could only display 256 colors. These are considered "web safe colors". Just accept it and we'll all be happier.

The truth is web designers do not have full control over color. Get used to it and get over it. We had to.

PRINTING - CMYK vs PANTONE
Full color printing is also known as CMYK - mixes the inks to print the full spectrum of color. Pantone printing (PMS) allows your printer to use the PMS formula to mix the color you've selected. This is the closest way to ensure your color is what you have chosen, although stock (paper), weather and ink batches will vary the color slightly.

You can choose a color for your logo from our Pantone swatch book.

COLOR vs COLOUR
HTML code that is used to create websites such as this, requires American spelling, sooooo... from habit I just drop the "U". No offence intended.
