Austin from Print Peppermint gives an overview of the key differences between the RGB, CMYK, and PMS Pantone color spaces.

In order to help our designers and clients we created this 4Color Process Reference book which displays a list of optimized CMYK color values and when printed acts as a handy tool in referencing onscreen color in real life.

You can download a Free PDF file here:

You can print this out at home on your digital printer which, although not perfect, should still act as a good guide for choosing CMYK values inside photoshop or whatever design software you are using.
