tBBP Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Try looking in the 380, 390 range. As far as I can tell, one of those will probably be your closest AI match. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff.聽 || dribbble || Behance聽|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 As far as actual PANTONE庐 values go, it's probably 809, which is one of the PANTONE庐 neon colors. Unfortunately, the swatches for those colors look terrible in illustrator, so you have to modify the CMYK values of the swatch to get it looking even remotely close to neon.

They're fluorescent inks; no amount of futzing about in CMYK will get you very far.sRGB gets you close, as will 2 parts 802 (base ink) plus 14 parts 803 (also base ink).

Obviously there are many colors that can not be totally replicated in Illustrator's RGB space, and even less of them that can be replicated in the CMYK space, but it bugs me to no end how inaccurate the default swatches are in Illustrator. All I want is a semi-accurate vision of what I'm working on. I usually have to work in CMYK for production purposes, but you still have to manually alter the RGB values of the neon swatches if that's your working space. It's just the extra work involved to make the swatches even remotely accurate that's the problem. Seems to me, all the swatches should have the sRGB values embedded in them so that they are pre-optimized for on-screen display, but they're not even close.

The new versions from www.pantone.com base all spot colors off of CIE-L*ab...much closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awuestenfeld Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So what did we decide? 809? Sorry, a little late to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Probably 809 C. Here are the specs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

andrewharrington Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 All the volt-colored items I have are brighter than my 382 swatch, but it's a close enough match, I suppose.

gordie_delini Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well fabric swatches will vary of course, but the Pantone swatch we're using for Volt is 382, and that comes down from Nike global creative directives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah, you can never match color exactly across all media. You'd think by now that kind of thing would be possible.
