No problem! I learned long ago not to use every crayon in the box! Actually I use the Galaxy Gauge Color Map Pro as a comprehensive guide to among other things appropriate CMYK color combinations for different effects. The Guide also identifies illustrates over 1,000 CMYK colors and gives the numbers for each, including those pesky purples and blues. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
