// color functions for definatly creating the right color

// found on http://bit.ly/h5EobK indisnip.wordpress.com ->
// how to apply:

// add CMYK color
//myColorAdd(app.activeDocument, "My Custom Color", ColorModel.PROCESS, [80,50,30,10]);

// add RGB color
//myColorAdd(app.activeDocument, "My Custom Color", ColorModel.PROCESS, [33,66,99]);

// add HEX color
//myColorAdd(app.activeDocument, "My Custom Color", ColorModel.PROCESS, "ABCDEF");

// add color directly
// add CMYK color to document
// and asign it to selected object
//app.selection[0].fillColor = myColorAdd(app.activeDocument, "My Custom Color", ColorModel.PROCESS, [80,50,30,10]);
