Esko

Esko's Color Engine is a superior tool for absolute color accuracy.

At the heart of the Color Engine is a central color database for all color critical data.

Color consistency is critical in brand recognition. Defining accurate brand and spot color standards is the first step in maintaining consistency. The next step is using these color standards in all packaging design and production applications.
