So who are these people?
Determining our colors?
i always imagined them to be little japanese nerds in bright colored suits running around all day chatting about colors.
I want pictures of the factory.
I want to know who these people are, the people that ask so much for so little color..i want names, adresses!!!
i had a print job fuck up (yes it involved BLUE, rand!) cuz of their colorcodes.
damnit.

""There are just a few key players, ranging from individuals like Li Edelkoort in Paris to organizations like the Color Association of the US," says Jay de Sibour, president of the Color Marketing Group. "But across all industries, billions and billions of dollars ride on color decisions.""
rich fuckers.

hmm i was wondering about this a few days ago, cos they had these really nice pantone (®) chairs in the design museum in london, and the girl (the one who showed me NT btw...) i was with, couldn't explain to me what/how pantone (®, yes) worked/was....
that was probably unreadable

let's see.. hmmm.. I do maybe 1 or 2 print jobs a year. Hmmm... Nope hardly ever reference pantone.
And it's from NJ? No wonder it's over $100 for a stupid booklet with color squares on it. Is there color union or something?

it came as a shock to me as well, Para.
New Jersey? WTF?
my beautiful mental picture of little japanese mad scientists on a remote secured island is completely ruined now.

it's some guy with plumber's bum scratching his baws and chewing tobacco, chuckling with unsuppressed rancour at the thought of millions of people worldwide slavishly bowing down to his arbitrary and, let's be honest, most likely ill-informed color schema.
imagine!

I guess it's just like the old betamax/vhs scenario, people went for one and not the other?
No reason why anyone has to use it.
