Are pantone colors just specific rgb(a) values, or is there some other stuff that makes them special, for printing or something? This has shades of the "Metallica copywriters G and F chords" thing, but I'm assuming there must be more to it?
- graftak 4y agoPantone is a standardised set of printing colours outside of CMYK, often used to print richer or more specific (accurate) colours.
