  You can just look up the values from the Swatches available to you in Photoshop, or Illustrator though, right? Or am I missing something?

  • you can convert them to cmyk values and then to rgb. But from my understanding this is not going to be the most accurate representation of the color as it is simply values that make up the color. hence the bridge guide. I don't know if that makes any sense.– fourthgen

  of course the conversion depends completely on your color space...

  • K. I'm probably just an unprofessional moron - but I can't see any change if I completely screw with the ..– detritus1/7

    .. colour space options in Photoshop - the RGB values always remain the same?– detritus2/7

    but they don't look the same if you compare it to a swatch next to your monitor– acescence3/7

    Does that matter in this instance? the RGB values given in the Swatch are what matter - not how it looks onscreen– detritus4/7

    onscreen. I mean - your client or consumer doesn't have a calibrated colour space, so the distinction is redundant, right?– detritus5/7

    i don't know, this color space stuff always confuses the hell out of me– acescence6/7

    me too!

    Hmm. Might've worked better had I l33tified it and shrunk them down to 6 letters... d'oh.– detritus4/7

  Thats stupid, the colors will appear different on whatever monitor views them. Sheeeet...The large apparel companies cant get it right. Why cant you just pick an RGB color?

  • I used the pantone colors for print material and the given RGB swatches in the bridge guide ensure the best possible match...– fourthgen1/2

    match. Plus I'm lazy.– fourthgen2/2
