Riso CMYK Colors

This catalog is a quick, shareable reference for Risograph ink colors. It presents on‑screen approximations of RISO inks so designers, printers, and clients can discuss palettes, plan layers, and communicate intent before running tests on press.

What’s inside

  • All available swatches, arranged by hue for an easy visual scan.
  • Per‑swatch details: Name, HEX, RGB, CMYK (approx.), Pantone (Uncoated, approx.), and any part / Z‑type identifiers.
  • Badges to flag Fluorescent, Metallic, and other special inks.

How to use it

  • Use HEX/RGB values to mock up artwork for web or screens; treat CMYK as a rough cross‑reference only.
  • Start palette conversations here, then proof on your actual paper stock—RISO inks are transparent and will shift with paper, coverage, and overprinting.
  • Remember: fluorescents and metallics cannot be fully represented on screens or standard printers; expect differences.
  • Layering/overprint effects shown in digital comps are indicative; confirm on press for true results.

Accuracy & notes

  • Values are screen approximations intended for planning—not a substitute for a printed RISO swatch book.
  • Pantone references are Uncoated (approx.) to aid conversation across workflows.
  • Drum age, press model, and environmental conditions can affect outcomes; test prints are essential.
