TunaTunaTuna Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello! I have a completed design in RBG, and now I need to spec each color in the image (about 7 of them) to Pantone Solid Coated. I see affinity has this in the swatches guide, but I NEED a way that I can select the current colors and have to convert it to the nearest pantone automatically. (or, change the color to the nearest color in any set of swatches I guess). I need to convert potentially hundreds of colors for a large project and would really benefit from an automated way to do this. I don't want to eyeball each color or copy+paste hex values into pantone's website... Wosven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaTunaTuna Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Just as a note, in Adobe Illustrator, this is roughly equivalent to the "recolor artwork" feature. I need this SO BADLY Can Affinity Designer do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It would be usefull. If you've only got 7 colours to find, you can do it manually, with a rectangle containing your colour, and another one half on it on which you test Pantone colours… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, fx functions (emboss, shadows, gradients,... ), or color adjustments, which produce thousands of different colors shade. Changing them to the nearest shade of the palette can quite radically change the entire result.

sarituulia Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'd love to see this feature implemented as well. The ONLY reason I'd ever need to use Illustrator is the recolor artwork- tool. With one click you can browse through tons of different color options for artwork, and with one click, convert to Pantone. I hope this feature will soon be released.
