Pantone colors library
-
Hi all,
Following RAL and SW colors, I've built (with a ruby script) the Pantone library.
The colors were given in CMYK mode (and then most accurately translated to rgb mode) in a huge txt file extracted from a french free color program that you can find here:
http://pourpre.com/colorbox/index.php
Create a folder "Pantone" under your "Materials" folder and unzip the 3 archives there.
This makes a total of 1089 materials
Hope this is useful,
-
WOW! Not sure how often I'd use this, but what a resource! Great work as always Didier.

...will upload 3 archives soon, because of size limit to 512Kb
Sorry Didier - I'd sent a PM, too before you told the reason here...
-
Thank you for the Pantone colors. These will come in very handy as many of our clients have corporate color schemes with pantone color numbers.
-
About time! I'm lazy, I rely on others efforts....
Good work.very useful
-
I was wondering how long it would be before someone introduced SU to pantones...
-
This is fantastic!!! Great job. Now all I need is a set of Kelly-Moore and Sherwin Williams paints and I will be set.
-
merci beaucoup

Todamgoodforyou,
For Sherwin-W, go here: http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2498
For Kelly Moore, I cannot find any numeric data about their colors
If someone knows where to find them (no matter the file format), please post the link.
Cheers, -
here is a cool little site for alot of paint manufactures

Thanks Mike,
I knew that site, that's where I've found interesting conversion formulas, but browsing the links page, I've discovered treasures about colors. I'm thincking of a Munsell colors generator. Don't know if it will be useful for much people but that's for fun too
Cheers, -
Thanks for the SW paints. Very handy. Now if I can only get the Kelly-Moore set. I'm not sure what you exactly need, but I have a photoshop .aco file with all their colors from the color xperience set to the current historicals. I am fortunate enough to have a friend at the KM headquarters who sent me the file. They use it in-house when a builder asks them to color match something for them.
It makes my life easier when I need to choose paint schemes for the whole development and then color up the streetscenes to match the selections.
Anyway, thanks again for these files...they will definitely help me out.
-
Yes, send me the ACO file and I'll see what I can do with it

Cheers,Sorry, been slaving away at work. Infact, it's 10:00pm and I'm still here...again...for the 3rd week straight.
Annnyyyywayyyy...I tried to PM you, but couldn't find a link. Tried member directory (thankfully you were on the second page), but the pm button for your name was missing. Let me know how I can send it to yo and I'll be happy to.
-
todamgood4U, the PM button should show up in Didier's Post directly above yours. It should be in everybody's post.
See this screenshot for an example.
Is this not what you are seeing. If not there might be a problem we need to adress.
-
In case of no PM button, here's my email: bur@crai.archi.fr
Cheers, -
I checked your permissions and tried in every possible way but I could have sent a PM to Didier.
There must have been a temporary problem, could you please confirm whether you can (or cannot) send a PM? -
I just sent Didier a PM. Worked fine.
Did you get it Didier?
Thanks. -
No, I can not PM him. Looking at the posts above, everyone has a small PM button below their post, except Didiers post. That is why last night I went looking through the member list. I thought maybe I could PM him by adding as a friend, but to no avail.
-
Well this is strange. Didier got my PM just fine.
Gai... any thoughts? Coen?
