I need a specific color-output utility. I'm sure most folks are familiar with
the Pantone color-matching system cards/books, and they're great...if you
happen to be doing high-end four-color output. I'm not; my output is just for
me, but here's the problem. I know empirically that the color I view on screen
is *not* what will be hitting the paper. So what I need is my own homemade
color-matching charts. For many mac programmers this may be a trivial
exercise, but it would be infinitely useful. Imaging printing off a couple
thousand color swatches, picking the color you want, and *knowing* that's
just how it will look when printed! User options that would be nice, would
allow the user to determine the size of the swatch printed, the CMYK/RGB/HSV
information beneath it, a starting color and ending color, allow for three
hole punching for easy storage in a binder for future reference. I realize that
with 16+ million combinations, this would chew up paper like mad. To try and
keep that down, it would be nice if the utility would print as many vertical
strips to a page as is useful, and allow the user to specify some color step
value (65535, 65535, 65534 still looks pretty much like 65535, 65535, 65535).

Is there already such a utility (doubt it...). Thanx!
