Label designs can be a good source of colour combinations – real designers have to establish a look with just a few spot colours. I used the GIMP to isolate a range of colours from the central part of this olive oil can.

• select a central part of the logo with all the spot colours and copy
• paste as new and convert the tile to index colour
• check the Custom palette and choose Web, and set the dither to ‘none’
• select color map from the tools | colors menu item
• the map window shows all the colors in the graphic
• choose the ones nearest the olive oil can – 663333, 999900 and ffffcc by my eyes

The oil tastes nice as well
