I have one question. I can't define any "normal" colour in Corel Draw 8.0.
I need a nice red and green colour like in a Paint
but I don't know how to define it. A red color looks like an orange (my opinion).


Please help me

There really is no way to "define" such a thing in any program. The old stand-by routine is to print out a grid of specified colors -- as in a selected group of PMS numbers -- and then set whatever color most-closely matches your needs, based on the output from your own printer.

If you were preparing files for an Output House, you'd have to receive from them a color chart for the same purpose, based on "their" specific printer.

One man's red is another man's pink and another man's orange -- and everything involved in CMYK printing output is entirely subject to change, depending on the printer, substrate, set of inks, etc. And one red from one program will print differently than the same red from another -- much less their appearance on-screen.

On the Internet, there are Reference Charts specifically available for use in CorelDraw.
