Illustrator to Lightburn Color Mapping

I design in Fusion 360 or Illustrator. Import to Illustrator to do my nesting/production files. Import to Lightburn to cut. I do this because I have 20 year experience with Illustrator and use it every day for my main job.

So the question is, what are the colors that Lightburn uses? I want to map the parts to the correct colors so I don’t have to assign them after I import. I am having difficulty finding them all as I suck with color. (I am the shapes guy at work.).

Thanks

As i can see in my 1 year of LB use all color can cut or engrave, if in illustrator you are used to assign a color to a specific work you can do the same in LB. The only convention i see is to use bright Red for cut.

Yes, I get that. I found 10 colors to match, but I am looking to match them all. I can then make swatches or graphic styles in Illustrator so I can assign them there while setting up stuff.

CMYK, RGB, or Adobe Hex codes should all work. I figure the Lightburn staff has access to these if no one else has figured it out yet.

The job I am working on right now has:
Engraving 03, Cutting 00, Tabs 16

Thanks!

So far I have found the following, with the hex codes I used:
00-231F20
03-30B456
09-252158
10-671C23
12-9EA337
16-8E8E8E
20-EE1C4E
24-D48ABB
26-9D5825
28-56C5CD

Fabulous!!!

also, there is a color pallet xml file attached to the linked document. its built for corel but you can open the xml file in notepad and see (and copy/paste) the rgb colors for the layers in the file.
