Gutshot Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi, made a logo in Affinity. I provided the colors with the logo. HEX, RGB & CMYK. Now they ask the PANTONE color scheme. How to see that to pick the correct color? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 You can access Pantone colours from Swatches selection list. Picking correct colour is best done with Pantone Colour printed guide. There are also available guides that show nearest matching Pantone – CMYK colours. Or you can try https://www.pantone.com/color-finder#/convert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomahawk Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 And how can I add a Pantone color to the global colors list? And make it overprinting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Lagarto, do I understand right that you want to define a PANTONE color swatch with your custom values (e.g. a yellow you created yourself first)? If yes, I think that must not work, to avoid 'individual', customized Pantone colors which have no corresponding ink. PANTONE are limited sets of fixed inks and that way quite different to a more flexible color model like HSL, RGB or CMYK where you may define any color within the model.

thomaso Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Ah, the naming issue. Yes, the auto names of swatches, not only Pantone, is not helpful in Affinity. Especially with Pantone it appears unnecessary weird since the real PANTONE name is shown as spot color name in the Colours panel and also named correctly as printing channel/ink. >> I assume this auto-naming is a 'leftover' from ADesigner, where colors are expected to get custom named related to graphic objects ("sunny yellow" ;•) Whereas in APub color definitions could be more useful as names.
