I understand guys, i should get a copy of a Pantone guide.
In my last comment I wanted to know some Pantone codes for fluorescent colors.
I admit my question might be stupid or noobish, well I don't have much experience in print.thanks

Are you actually going to print with a solid ink? Because RGB or CMYK equivalents for fluoros won't be.... fluorescent.

- PS, simply use the eyedrop tool, click the foreground color, select color libraries, choose Pantone book.utopian

Hahahhaa.
The screen can't accurately reproduce the Pantone system, so using software is pretty much pointless. Did someone say hexachrome? Even more ridiculous (mostly because it's impossible to tell). Doesn't really work like this, man.
The only way to pick a Pantone color correctly is to have the guide in your hands.
- Agreed. It's a solid screened onto the plastic, not CMYK or hex.pylon

pylon,
not necessarily. For all we know, that's probably just a photo of a blank clear CD case with some Illustrator artwork on it (and it probably is). I agree that CMYK probably won't reproduce that color well. Once again, assigning a PMS color to this is ridiculous without a printed swatch book.

Right, and in the end it comes down to preference. There are a few colors that could work here, and personal choice (designer/client) near press time is usually how it works.

You may have a problem on your hands... did you calibrate everyone's monitor to see the same as yours?
- SoulFly0
that's a hexachrome, or silver foil.
do you have a hexachrome fan?- that's a screen shot, my oh so confused (but confident) friend.monospaced
