Finding the right HEX colour for a Pantone
Jun 14, 2012 8:50 PM
Tags:I'm trying to match a HEX colour to Pantone 369C. I've set my colour model in Bridge to Europe Web/Interent 2. Every time I convert the colour from Pantone to RGB the colour is way too bright. I'm not really after the exact colour match, more what looks better on the screen.
If I start in Ai with a pantone swatch then convert to RGB everything looks good.
If I open the Ai document in Ps it looks good.
If I select the pantone swatch in Ps colour picker it looks wrong.
Converting the pantone to RGB gets: 116, 175, 38 > #74af26 however it looks wrong in Dw
I'm using the sRGB colour space [as defined by my Br settings] and I'm exporting for web without colour management. The colour conversion in both Ps and Ai work out to be roughly the same, only 1 or 2 shades different, not the radical change you get when selecting the swatch in Ps
So my question really is, failing just tweeking the colour breakdown myself, is there some way I can get the right HEX colour to match what I see in Ai? See the attached image for example.
Thanks in advance.
