KromaGraph™ — Grab a Color, Match It, Send It to a Job
Sample any color from a proof, a website or a photo, match it against your Pantone, thread, vinyl and ink libraries, build print locations, and send the whole spec straight into a job.
What KromaGraph does
KromaGraph lets you pull a color from anything on your screen — a customer's proof, a brand's website, a design frame — and instantly see it in every format, matched against your production libraries. It runs on the same color engine and the same libraries as the rest of KromaLab, so a match here is a match everywhere. Open it from KromaLab (the KromaGraph card) or as a floating desktop app that stays on top while you work.
Grabbing a color
- 1Press S (or the Sample button) and click any pixel on your screen to eyedrop its color.
- 2Or paste a hex, RGB, CMYK, HSL, or a library code (like a Pantone or thread number) into the field.
- 3Or drop, paste, or click an image — KromaGraph auto-extracts its main spot colors.
Every grab shows the color's generic name, its closest Pantone with a Delta E score, and the exact RGB, CMYK, HSL and LAB values. Click any value to copy it.
Matching to your libraries
Pick your decoration method — Screen Print, Embroidery, Heat Transfer / Vinyl, DTF, DTG and more — and KromaGraph matches against the right library automatically (Pantone, thread, vinyl, or off-the-shelf ink). You get the three nearest matches with their Delta E, so you can pick the tightest one. Lower Delta E means a closer match.
Your Selects and print locations
As you grab colors, add the ones you want to Your Selects — your working palette for the job. Then open Print Locations to group them: add a location (Full Front, Left Chest, a sleeve), give it a method and an optional description, and tap the colors from Your Selects that print there.
- 1Add colors to Your Selects as you grab them.
- 2Open Print Locations and add a location — pick a preset pill or type a custom name and description.
- 3Assign colors to the location by tapping them from the list.
- 4Add more locations as needed — each keeps its own method and inks.
Type a custom location once and KromaGraph remembers it as a preset for next time. Your custom locations also become one-tap presets inside Kontrol OS wherever you add print locations.
Sending colors to a job
When your locations are set, Send to job builds a real print spec — every ink with its hex, closest Pantone and CMYK, grouped by location — and drops it into Kontrol OS. Start a brand-new job pre-filled with your colors, or open KromaGraph from inside a job you're already editing and the locations land right on that job.
Inside Kontrol OS there's no trip through the clipboard. From the desktop app, set your workspace URL in Settings and Send to job opens a pre-filled job in your browser.
