Compare screen to paper colours

Have you ever found the colours on screen don’t look quite like the colours you output on paper?  Well, without going in to display configuration, a simple thing you can do is use this simple Object and print a version of your pen palette so you know what the colours will be like on your device(s).

You can find the Object in Graphic Symbols 19> Pens and Colors 19 as highlighted below:

If you switch to Style 2 it will also draw a section of line so you can see the thickness of the pen.
