Just guessing, but that seems to imply two possibilities. One containing colors that can't be implemented - no such pigments / ink / chemicals exist. And other one describing actual inks and their behavior - which sounds like what Pantone is doing.
- mavhc 4y agoI think I'd start with: a list of how much of each range of frequencies of light are reflected, a list of light that's emitted, how matte/mirrored the surface is
- brudgers 4y agoYes, Pantone describes inks using samples of actual products because it is in the business of selling ink. Familiarity is the big design advantage of Pantone color. I look at the samples, pick a color, and that’s what I will get. Whether or not my monitor is calibrated or whether or not I am using a computer at all. From a business perspective, if you’re logo is Reflex Blue, then any reputable print shop can print your leave-behinds and any decent sign shop can make your tradeshow display.
