CMYK vs Pantone vs RGB - What's the difference? Why does it matter? When to use each?

[@tubebuz]

Great explanation to a topic that seems to confuse a lot of people - even some who has been in the business for a while.

Awesome video. I'm just starting out in the world of graphic design and this video was super helpful!

Thank you very much for the booklet to download, I have the color bridge palette but is good to narrow down the best options to choose.

[@user-uy8oo3er6z]

the CMYK values in your guide are optimised, do you mean that they are an improved variant of the CMYK values provided by pantone bridge? As I see that the values you provide don't match the ones in the pantone guide. Also I just realised that between coated and uncoated the values change as well. Are your CMYK values suitable for both? Thank you in advances for clarifying this :)

I wouldn't spec a pantone color if the client isn't paying for spot color in the job (assuming print method supports it at all). Just because a designer spec's a pantone doesn't mean they're going to get a faithful reproduction of it at print time, especially in the case of a digitally printed product. CMYK and converting / choosing it over RGB: the designer should be asking the print provider what they want in production files. Most modern RIPs will handle the conversion from RGB spaces to process color output just fine, and they'll do a better job of it than creative desktop software will. Similarly for pantone colors, they'll convert to the closest in gamut color without issue. It just may not be as bright and nice as the designer and client expect.

Can the key's colour be changed?

[@ferretyluv]

What about Avery? They have their own color system. What’s the difference between Avery and Pantone?

[@jsa-z1722]

👏👏👏

[@BarKeegan]

Just wondering with Pantone leaving Adobe, could someone make a new Spot colour in one of their design packages for use on a single lithographic plate, and just tell a printer which Pantone you want printed on that plate without having the available Pantone swatches digitally?

[@Printpeppermint]

Yes, the PMS colors are mixed by hand based on the Guidebook proportions from Pantone. The swatches inside design software are a nice convenience but are not necessary.

[@BarKeegan]

@@Printpeppermint Ah, thanks for clarifying that, it felt like there was a lot of drama over this change, but didn’t really seem warranted to me...

[@lasarith2]

RGB 16.7 million colours CMYK 16,000 colours, Pantone 1200-1600 ish.

[@Printpeppermint]

Yeah but you can't print RGB or at least not in a way that expresses all those colors. And most of those in-between color differences are not perceivable by the human eye. So I'd say the 1200 palette is more than enough to work with - for print anyways.
