Thanks for playing the game and for your feedback!
Just to clarify, the ‘Formulae’ in the book aren’t meant to follow CMYK order directly. Instead, they’re a set of ratios—like 3:4:2:2—that represent the relative amounts of each colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) used to create a specific mix. However, the order of the values is randomized. For example, 3:4:2:2 could mean 3 parts Black, 4 parts Cyan, 2 parts Magenta, and 2 parts Yellow—or some other combination.
The idea is to look at the colour and use the given ratio to deduce how much of each CMYK component is likely present. I know it’s a bit abstract, and I admit the in-game info screen might not do the best job explaining it 😅—so thanks again for taking the time to explore it!
