Hi everyone,I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me out with a Pantone color match question. I'm trying to find the best CMYK match for some brand colors (I'd used an online conversion previously and have since realized what a mistake that was), but I'm confused about what I've discovered.For example, take PMS 2398 C:On the Pantone website, the best CMYK match is 97 31 11 59, and the hex is #00BAB3.And when I search for it in the Pantone Connect extension, I get the same results.However, when I drag the Pantone Connect swatch over to my CC library, it changes the Hex/RGB values slightly (from #00BAB3 to #00B8B4). Also, when I enter the recommended CMYK values (75,0,34,0), Adobe tells me the hex value should be #00b9b7.I also tried converting the PMS value to CMYK and RGB following this guide, which gave me CMYK 80,0,37,0 and Hex #00B6B2. I'm guessing I shouldn't follow the linked guide, or pay attention to Adobe conversions, and just enter the Pantone #CMYK and RGB values directly, but I wanted to check. Why does Adobe alter the values so much when converting them? And why did it even alter them slightly when all I did was drag it over from the Pantone Connect extension to my CC library? I'm just trying to find what will be the most accurate CMYK match for professional printing.Oh, and to further confuse things, I know I should ignore online sites, but when I enter the CMYK value online, it looks altogether different and is matched to ANOTHER entirely different HEX code. Why?!Comments

2025-04-03Attention design lovers: Pantone has released a new app that helps you easily make color palettes–whether you’re hanging out in your room or on-the-go–and it’s about to seriously raise your phone screen time.The Pantone Connect app gives users free access to all of its colors to create palettes for any space or project. When making a palette, users have the ability to streamline the design process by matching physical materials to Pantone colors. So, says you’re looking for a paint color to match your purse or you want to base a color palette on an inspiring item, you can use the app’s photo extraction tool or pair the app with Pantone's Color Match Card. The portable card is similar to the size of a credit card and uses your phone’s camera to get a more accurate color match than extracting information from a photo. The card is available on Pantone’s website for $14.99.PantoneApart from the mobile portion, the app is part of a larger Pantone Connect digital color platform that works on the web and Adobe Creative Cloud extension, “meaning colors found while on the go can be easily applied to design files when you're back in your studio,” according to the app’s description.The app is available for iOS and Android users. It’s free to use, but there’s a premium option with additional tools, like team palette collaboration and other design-savvy features, should you want more—and you very well might!

2025-03-29Hi superstardj,The conversion you're seeing from Pantone Connect might indeed seem off because Pantone to CMYK conversions can vary depending on the tools you use. Pantone Connect is based on LAB values, which represent how we perceive colors, and those can sometimes be tricky when converting to CMYK.Pantone 2607C to CMYKFrom what I can find, Pantone 2607C typically converts to something like C 84 M 100 Y 0 K 3These values might give you a closer match for printing.The breakdown you got (C 68, M 100, Y 0, K 0) is a bit less saturated and would likely result in a different hue.Pantone Colour Bridge: The Colour Bridge swatch book is the most reliable resource for matching Pantone to CMYK. If you don't have it on hand, you can refer to Pantone's official documentation or online tools that simulate those values.Or contact the printer(s) producing the print and ask them what CMYK values would be best to best match the Pantone colour.Double-Check on ProofsEven with Pantone-approved conversions, there are always differences when shifting from spot colours (PMS) to CMYK.Always test the output on your proof or printer to see how close the conversion gets to the desired colour.It’s not uncommon to adjust these CMYK values slightly based on the specific print job, paper type, or ink limitations to get the best result. So, tweaking might be needed after a test run and perhaps your printer could help with this.You could always send them a previous printed job and ask them to match it - as they can make tweaks on press.------------------Best advice I can offer - contact the Printers who are producing the printed piece - it's imperative you work closely with them to get the best match.----------Hope this helps!
