Before the merger of Colonial Printing Inks (CPI) and Color Mix to form Coates Screen, each company had its own color system:

• CPI used the Color Plus system
• Color Mix used the C-Mix system

Both of these have been superseded by the internationally recognized color system, C-Mix 2000 , and all new Coates Screen products are introduced with this color system.

Certain popular product lines are still only available in the Color Plus System , and details of this are included for convenience.
