I've been trying to create a custom colour in word, "Emerald Green" for my
wedding invitations.
I have a friend that's a printer and will print whatever I like, and in any
shade that exists.. top quality.

The problem is when I'm in Word, and trying to create the custom colour, no
matter what I click, it all looks the same, like a hunter green or sage green
(basically, earthy yellowish greens).
I can't see if I'm choosing an emerald shade that will print as emerald at
his end.
This is a picture online that shows the shade of text that I'm trying to
achieve, but can't see on my monitor

Does anyone know the 'formula' for emerald green in Word?

BTW, I'm saving as pdf file so his pc will see my font. I had originally
sent as a 'word' doc, but the codes embedded or whatever got confused by his
pc and it saw it as "Arial" (I am NOT printing my invites in Arial, but as
Script).
So, to save as pdf, I have to "print" to "Adobe Distiller" which captures
the image of the doc I guess?

Hoping someone can help me soon.
THANKS in advance for all your replies


Is your display set to display "true color?"
