Hi annacast,
Colours on paper will never match colours on the screen.
The screen colours are a mix of red, green and blue light; those on paper are created by 'white' light passing through or bring absorbed by dots of cyan, yellow, magenta and black ink, reflecting off the 'white' paper and passing again through the ink dots on their way to your eyes. The colour you see depends on several factors, including the shade of 'white' of the light, the shade of 'white' of the paper, the thickness of the ink coat, the absorbency of the paper, and what's known as the colour profile of the printer system.
While Photoshop and other pro level applications offer access to the colour profile of many printers, that's not true of consumer level software (like Numbers) and consumer level printers, where the user has little control over the colour profile used by the software and printer.
You can set up your colour scheme for the screen or for the printer, but probably not for both.
Regards,
Barry
