How To Turn a Hex Code Into a Pantone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2022
- As Screen Printers, we constantly need to match custom pantones, but often are only given the hex code of a color. You can very quickly take that hex code and get the matching pantone in a few quick steps. We made a video a while back doing this in Adobe Illustrator but they decided to block that behind a pay wall for some reason. So, here is a great way to get the same result using Adobe Photoshop. Hopefully, Adobe doesn't see this video and put a pay wall on this one too!!

I used to work for Pantone. Please be aware that Pantone books are just a reference not a standard. The colors DO change from book to book and books age with time Technically, you should buy new books every year. The pay wall thing is understandable with todays never ending quest for corporate profits, especially since they are owned by a publicly traded company. Anyway, great video. I'll be using it, Thanks.
For sure! They are a reference tool that is more accurate than all the different screens in the world with different color temps, saturation, and contrast settings. We agree you should update pantone books regularly. Scott, Thanks for watching and sharing some knowledge with everybody!!
Super helpful, thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!
very cool and easy. thanks!
You’re welcome 🤙🏻
Illustrator: edit, edit colors, recolor artwork, select # of colors, select color book (something like that)
In my day job, when Adobe updated to the newer Adobe CC, the pantones disappeared from Illustrator.
As a workaround, I researched online and found that you can go to an older Illustrator or Photoshop installation, find the old pantone palettes and copy them to your new CC versions folder.
It works if you MUST use pantone for printing.
Nice thanks for looking out!
Such a great and simple point!! I did some Googling as well once I learned just yesterday that my Photoshop '24 is also not showing the solid coated and uncoated pantone options. Downloaded an old version and got the pantone colors I need. Didn't even think to just copy the books until your comment. Thanks so much!
Literally 2 months and we don't have access to PMS in photoshop either.
I appreciate this video, but I am trying to convert f6f3e8 to a PMS Coated. It is not working... following your instructions, it is choosing a very pale lavender instead of the light cream I am after.
Super helpful, it sucks that AI took away all of the different options from Pantone. Thanks, Cory!
Yea it’s a bummer
How do you handle the Pantone colour changing so drastically, especially if the design is needing to match something else?
IMO, compromise. You can't fit a square peg in a round hole. Sometimes, an exact match isn't possible.
sucks that they're paywalling colors
Yep!
this TUT is out of date now that PS got rid of all of this. does anyone know how to find the PANTONE in PS for 2024? why would they get rid of such an important piece of info. that all PS users use!! like what???
Yeah.... unless you run an older version of PS or AI - I don't think I've seen so many negative reviews on a plugin as I see on the Pantone Connect Plugin. People are not happy bob, not happy.
