I love how the references note that all the news articles talking about it use a different color to talk about it, as the tone itself is hard to tell whether it's just a dark grey or black or some tone of brown.

- egypturnash 7y agoKeeping color correct across different media is a royal pain in the ass.
- BashiBazouk 7y agoIf it's a hex code or RGB value it is a Pantone equivalent anyway and may or may not be in the realm of accurate, and is likely not even close if your monitor is not well calibrated. So it probably doesn't much matter what hex code they use as long as it's in the general area. Pantone colors at their heart are ink mixing formulas for spot printing on specific papers. I think it's funny that in a thread about a Pantone color, no one has posted it's CMYK value. C:39 M:47 Y:81 K:67 would be a better representation but it would still depend on the printer, the inks it uses and what material the color is printed on. Yes, I live in Pantone. I'll have to check out the real color in the coated book in the morning...
- colonwqbang 7y agoPantone colours have "official" RGB approximations. But I agree with you that what matters is how it's perceived. https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/448-C?utm_source=pantone_app&utm_source=web_app&utm_campaign=pantone_app_campaign https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/448-C?utm_source=panton...
