  • colour match please for pantone 535 light blue?

    Posted by Stuart Whitehouse on 16 June 2005 at 13:02

    Can anyone tell me where I might find a colour match for Pantone 535 Light Blue. I’ve tried all my suppliers and no one can get anywhere near it!
    I don’t mind which vinyl it is in just as long as its a near enough colour match

    Thanks

    I doubt whether you will get anything near that mate… best bet is to get some screen printed or a digi print of it…..or get them to choose a different colour if possible

    Also, 535 is certainly digitally printable.

    thanks guys.

    I’ll think I’ll have to print it. I have a cadet and signlab print & cut software. will the pantone colour be on there or will I have to somehow get it? maybe take a picture and import it as a fill? or am I going the long way round?

    Thanks

    What you need to do is print out a colour swatch sheet on your machine (little squares) and just match it by eye..

    According to the Pantone palette in Signlab 7.1, the colour 535c is defined as follows:
    LAB: 66.23, 0.46, -15.89
    RGB: 146, 162, 189
    CMYK: 16.9, 10.6, 0, 25.9

    See how you get on with these (?)
