I'm working on some art where I need to recreate some regular colors by blending spot colors (adding some text and other graphics elements to a already separated file)
Example:
I need green.. in my spot colors, I have PMS300 (blue) and PMS108 (gold)... I assume (maybe big assumption here?) that if I go into the appearance panel and create a 2nd fill of the PMS108, and set both of them to around 50% or so, that on press, I'd get 50% blue, 50% gold which sould make my green (the green isn't specified to be a specific shade, so close enough is fine)
problem is... illustrator isn't showing me that blended color, or maybe it is? and it's just wrong?
Anyways... thoughts/help/suggestions would be great.
Update: it appears to be working as I expect on a Red/Gold to make orange layer... just not on the green.
Thanks!
