– Small: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 0.25 of the 

color value entered.

– Large: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 1 of the 

color value entered. 

– Small: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/-0.25% of the 

color value after scaling. 

– Large: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/-0.5% of the 

color value after scaling.

A color substitution takes place when a substitute color is defined with a different set of 
CMYK values for the same value-name as the original color.

The following color examples show how a substitution works.

•

 <100, 0, 0, 0> for the CMYK values (cyan)

•

 <0, 100, 100, 0> (red)

•

 <100, 0, 100, 0> (green)

In the examples, the extreme values and terms “red” and “green” are used for illustrative 

purposes only. In practice, color substitution is not used for extreme color shifts.

The following table shows color substitution with different sets of CMYK values assigned to 
the same original color.

If two substitute colors are defined with the same value-names, but with different sets of 
CMYK values and different tolerance ranges, Spot-On resolves the priority of substitution 
according to the order of color in the group.

Spot-On process color substitution is based on the order of color in the group. The color 
entries at the top of the list have priority over the colors at the bottom of the list. Spot-On 
scans the list from top to bottom and processes substitution in linear order. When a color is 
remapped, it is not overridden by any subsequent substitution call.
