The One Company That Owns 2,390 Colors

Funny, second time this Week i see a Video closely related to my final Exams. Had to deal with the Colour Systems (RGB, CMYK) and the Pantone Colours for a Practical Exam on Monday and had to explain these on the follow up Oral Exam on Tuesday.

Okkkkkk but if you can't print the colour how is pantone printing the colour

So... In conclusion... Its a bit better than just using rgb

IP must cease to exist. Owning colors or even ideas has been a huge impediment to society only benefitting the intellectual thieves that became stinking rich off IP.

Apparently, Pantone sells sneakers as well.

"Half as energy" sounds way too real

Shoulda named

Paint one

I can't wait any longer, I'm getting Nebula now!

I need a Half as Mug. Best spite gift ever.

Have a sub

"your printer isnt broken, well, it is" i cant wait for the printer industry video next

Yeah the Pantone system is what companies need for their branding and recognition. So that way a plastic lid made at five different factories in a jar made a 20 different others all have the exact same color and you can't tell which one was made where. And that's the beauty of the pantone system. And their colors match between plastics paper print labels vinyl etc.

Also eine DIN Norm für Farben?Ihr seid nicht bereit was wir in Deutschland haben hahaha

Half as Consulting

as.a capitalist myself I don't think anybody should own colors? ridiculous

Technically they don't own the colors themselves. They own the identifying codes of those colors to make sure the color is laways the same no matter the application.
That's also why they made it a succesfull business.

side by side comparison

bro if u give the code

IT WILL BE THE SAME COLOR

the person on the other side of the world will know exactly the color

the thing here is just for real world color comparison and calibration

ff0000 is maximum red

u send that to someone, they will know it is maximum red

it doesnt matter how u see it on ur screen if u want them to print the color

wat matters is the real color and calibration

Isn't that racist?

sam babygirl why are you so far away from the mic

Correction: "Your screen being off" is grey because screens cant't completely block light while on, but there are some standards that do that like OLED, LED and special blacklights that dim a matrix depending on how light it is to try to simulate black.

There's something to correct in this video. Pantone is not "world's color authority". The closest thing we have is the CIE (International Comission on Illumination).

Pantone is really truly incredible

imagine owning light that is not perceived in the same way with different species

Pointless video

im unsure why i watched this as i am colorblind, it was a quarter interesting at least

Opensores color names then

me thinking it was crayola before tapping the video:

You can’t own a color

This is one of those things humanity has done that make you really question where we put our efforts.

I don't think company's should own color..

this is pretty neat, it's something that seems very stupid at first, but gradually makes more and more sense, and i really like things like that.

This is how I learned the ups trucks were brown not black

This is video has a slight lie of ommission. Not everyone uses pantone swatch books, because their colours for other materials have other sorting and storing methods. The short circuit on LTTs plastic pantone set is a useful illustration of the other systems held by pantone. That was stored in sample cilinders and utilised a digital index sent via a CD.

Well we should also mention that one time where Adobe and Pantone didn't agree on extending their licensing and as a result of that all pantone colors used in Illustrator or InDesign were converted to black. That's the problem with having a singular and capitalist provider of consistent color coding.

you should do a video on anish kapoor and Vantablack

I thought they just did hair products.

Pantone doesn't own colors - until they do, apparently. Adobe had a license for using Pantone in their software and something happened and they lost it, and a bunch of artists found their artwork to have a lot of black in place of the Pantone colors.

Rgb numbers???

I can confirm read has to be one of the worst colors to match most of the time it's not even right you just paint the whole thing and nobody notices it all looks the same from a distance but if you try and match it and put it on you'll never get it right only close and you have to paint it three or four times
