    Feels like these folks making digital directories of Pantone colors don’t really understand how Pantone colors work.

    Or they do, maybe, but a digital directory doesn’t really solve this new licensing issue in any way. Are they just lashing out? A fuck you to Pantone?

    I don’t get it

    • I *think* these are just color swatches that have same name (and “color”) as Pantone ones, so if you use them and open an old file they will be used in placehardhat
    • technically pantone's IP only covers their index because they all contain "PANTONE" there have been indexes like this for open source software for yearskingsteven
    • i think you just remove the word 'pantone' and don't distribute it with the software and hey prestokingsteven
    • Elitism? Huh? It’s just designers trying to get the color right. Without a swatch book or chips, it’s all a waste of timenb
