HKS colour table integration?

[Michail]

Unfortunately only the spot color table Pantone is integrated in the affinity products.
Are there plans to integrate HKS tables (K+N) in the near future (CSV-based)? HKS spot colours are very common in Europe.

I would be more interested, if the Pantone palettes would not be shipped.

In the discussion you'll find the .ase files.

I had not known of the HKS colours before reading your posts, but as it is about colours I decided to try to find out.

I found the following.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HKS_(colour_system)

There is a link to an official website and the website has a drop down selection box so that a version in English becomes displayed.

Just a note in case this is new to anyone else too.

Could someone possibly explain why there is both HKS-K and HKS-N please?

N is for natural or uncoated paper, K for coated art prints, magazine etc. There is also Z for newspapers and E for endless roll printing.

Unfortunately the german page has more details.

As with other feature requests, chances are we will find out if and when it shows up in a beta version.

I also would need the HKS colors for some printing jobs at work! 😃
