hockeyzealot Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I want to say Photoshop has a color sampling tool which you can then use to look up the RGB/CYMK. Not sure if thats the case or not...but its worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 You could try...0-48-130156-31-46173-173-17343-41-38and of course white (255s across the board).Can't guarantee these are exact, but they're close enough. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hmmm...SyPhi must have taken those from my Team Colors page...nice work...Interesting you should mention that. ::It's a great resource Pantone, I don't know how many times I've said that, but it's true.And sorry GMac, if you woulda said the colours are darker on the screen than on the printout, I'd say improve the print quality, but the only thing I can think of is maybe your screen is too light?

TruColor Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 What I'll say about those colors on my team colors reports (PDFs), is that they (the RGB values) correspond with actual Pantone colors, but they're the "optimized" Pantones that the company (Pantone, Inc.) has supplied for displaying these colors on computer monitors. These are newer values; I guess Pantone modifies these things now and then.Oh, and these RGB values are NOT going to match up with the RGB values that Illustrator, Photoshop, Freehand, or any of the other graphic programs that use Pantones. These programs use an internal algorithm to calculate the RGBs, and they're not what Pantone says is "correct".Purples REALLY look different (and more accurate) when you use the "real" values...(Oh - and the Montreal Alouettes' colors are legit - they're one of the few CFL teams I actually have the Pantones for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
