1. A method for determining a color solution which achieves color objectives for a color marking device, the method comprising: identifying N objectives of interest for a color marking device; constructing a N-dimensional Pareto Front comprising a collection of color solutions which accommodate said objectives; selecting a target point in an N-dimensional objective space, said target point based upon at least one user-selected preference; identifying a color solution associated with said selected target point; using said color solution to generate a spot color for said color marking device, said generated spot color achieving said user-selected preference.
