Hello,
I am getting into making my own prints and I'm using Inkscape (for the obvious pricing reasons). For color RGB values, I am referencing this (https://www.mecabricks.com/docs/colour_chart.pdf) chart. However, I do not know which of the RGB values works for Inkscape and as such, most of the colors are coming out a tad off. For example, the solid black is easy to match and black printing blends into a black part, but the various dark red codes vary the shade a bit and the color shows up on a dark red part.
I believe I saw somewhere that the color char was updated at some point so I may just be using the wrong one. I also know that at least one of the tutorials for drawing uses Inkscape so I assume someone has already solved this problem.
Thank you for all of your help!
Nope, the chart is really up to date. Look into the colour profile when you save your file (sRGB IEC61966–2.1)
By the way, value for black shall be #010101 on stickers and prints. #101010 is only for the ABS base material and you shall not use it.

Here's a link to my Inkscape templates and a .gpl file to get all correct colour values in the palette. (It also works with GIMP)
Thank you so much! That palette is really great, so much easier than typing in RGB values every time. As for the black vs black, Sealund did a good job naming the colors so I shouldn't make any mistake.
I only keep the colour for ABS (#101010) for when i make decorations for the old part system, in the future when all parts are updated it won't be needed anymore in the palette.
I am unable to view GPL files on my mac. Would someone mind sending a screenshot of the RGB to brick color palette?
