The hilarious part to me is 30+ years ago and as part of our student package for a Graphic Arts and Design course at Seneca College. The Pantone flip book colour swatch thingy back then costed us $28 for Student/Education versions. My book which I still have is a thin 1" wide by 1 1/4" tall by 7" long seemed ridiculous to be charging $28 for such a tiny thing 30+ years ago. That same format is no longer available but the current version which is a bit wider is now $200+ to $400+ for the current versions. 😶😶

It was just a joke stop dissecting the possibilities of viewing the olympics while in a wheelchair please thanks 3. I am so happy to see people thinking about this issue more critically now, and hearing so many other people say they just dont "think in colors". This is my main thing with color blindness: Differentiating is either exhausting or impossible. Our brains are accustomed to ignoring colors, so having information like graphs solely colorcoded is annoying at best, and at worst downright discriminating (looking at you, train maps). I actually thank the LTT team for having their graphs colorcoded in a way that the colors also contrast in brightness and are far removed from each other in the rainbow, and use different shapes when they run out of three or four bold colors. Anyways my point is thank you for sharing your stories and i hope a few people became more aware of this issue through this thread.

My family has been in the paper printing industry for about a century. I could not tell you to what lengths we go to make sure that our prints are color accurate. We have separate presses to do proofs on to make sure that the color and paper combos looks perfect (we did that more when we had the 40inch offset press as that was harder to do proofs on. The industrial inkjet we know use can spit a proof out in a couple minutes with little waste) we have tables that have pure (edit: exceptionally untinted, neither warm or cool) white light coming from overhead so that intermediate pages can be checked, we have a glass light table to check bleed and such, we have a device which measures the number of dots of each color present in a unit area. Color accuracy ain’t no joke. Edit: I should have clarified that I do not own or work for the company in a technical capacity. I only run some of the post press machines on occasion. My dad, grandpa, and great-grandparents put a lot of work into the company and I am proud of what they have accomplished, although I believe this came across as attributing it to myself, my apologies.

There's indeed a lot that goes into that including some colors being harder to reproduce consistenly than others. We'd only have specific ink for a couple of spot colors for larger customers, rest I'd have to match their pantones with mixing different CMYK values both in the image/vector file itself and printer settings.

I went to school for graphic design and printing and one of the first things I learned working in pre-press is the necessity of pantone books for understanding color and matching color for customer jobs as well as the insane cost of them. Thankfully coated and uncoated substrate pantone books are a lot less expensive than this and you really only buy them every 3 years or so but still, like $500-600 every time for new books (both color bridge and formula guide) is a fair chunk of cash. And usually you're buying like 3 or 4 sets because many people need them depending on the company size.

D50 is the standard in some industries. In others it's D65. They do certainly need to pick a standard and view samples and chips in that condition to make a better educated decision.

Years ago I worked for a company that was Pantone's largest dealer of textile colors standards for the western United States. A couple of things to consider is the color you see is only as accurate as the light you are looking at it under. Anyone working with color on this scale really ought to have a light box. Don't know if it's due to cones or rods but women can see subtler degrees of color than men. I highly recommend that you keep any color standard shaded when not in use. Also, C's at the end generally denote what it looks like on a coated material as opposed to matte.

You might find it interesting to know that, if a woman can see more colours than the average guy, it generally means that she is probably expressing a form of colour blindness. Due to the genetics of how colour blindness works in particular, a woman's eyes would tend to express the colour blind gene and the normal colour gene at the same time. Giving the woman in question four primary colours they can see. Instead of just three. There's actually a fairly good chance that a woman with extremely good colour perception to actually have colourblind children.

I believe the two green chips were the same value of brightness, the left green was more of a whitey pastel green, while the right one was also a pastel green but closer to the yellow spectrum and since yellow is a midtone color in black and white it could look deeper than the other chip

The plastic chips could actually be cheaper in the long run. I had to replace my paper book after a couple years just because it was getting so beat up. I work in an office with 4 other people who all use pantone books, so I imagine that adds up quickly.

This is fascinating to me as I didn’t even know this existed before now. As an outside observer I’m impressed and can see why the product is so expensive. This is the kind of product that needs to be made to an exacting specification or it’s literally useless. Their buyer needs to be able to trust that each of those chips is the precise color they are expecting it to be. Even just the reference booklets. Ensuring that each of the hundreds of colors in the booklets is printed to the *exact* color specified adds serious cost. But dang those chips, manufacturing that many different colors of plastic in such a way that they can be used as a definitive reference for a color. It’s actually pretty crazy. That bit with the green chips was actually the perfect example. If you were actually trying to manufacture a product in the color of green B, you’d be pretty upset and would waste money if it came out on the color of green A. Even though they are similar, they are clearly different enough that you’d be able to tell the color of your product was off. This is of course assuming you care a lot about quality and brand image. But that’s who this was made for. The fitment issues are a bummer though.

Using a CD is not as bad of an idea as it seems like on the first glance. Flash storage will eventually start "forgetting" what is stored on it and flip random bits (aka. "bit rot"). This usually happens after a really long time so, depending on how long you can use these color chips, it may be not an issue worth considering, but optical media can theoretically hold up longer than a flash drive. Putting the PDF files on a CD may also help work around operating systems deprecating old file systems because the file system on a CD will usually be ISO9660 which is a standard that is unlikely to go away because everyone is still using it (.iso files) where FAT is generally considered deprecated and other file systems have a tendency to not be supported on all platforms. Again, this is - in most cases - a non-issue and only matters if the chips are supposed to hold up for decades.
