Matching Specific Colors Using The LAB Color Mode


In this tutorial, we will talk about matching specific colors in Photoshop using the LAB color mode.

For example, you may have a client who wants to match the Pantone color of an object to the color that represents their company branding.

To do the color match, we’ll convert the image into the Lab color mode and make the color match with the Curves Adjustment layer.

If you’re not comfortable with curves, then don’t worry!

I will also show you a method using the Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer.

Hi Jesús, thanks for all your great tutorials, I really enjoy them. I’m having a bit of a problem with this one. When I go to the curves window to select the colour values I don’t get any output values showing, the box remains blank. I follow exactly what you do step by step, but it remains empty. Any suggestion appreciated. Many thanks Jeremy
