    I`d say 510 in the 751c series is closest but I only have uncoated swatches.

    Cheers

    I`m sure if you give Europoint or whoever you buy the Oracal vinyl from they will have a pantone chart to cross reference to.

    Worth a call I would say.

    Cheers

    Thanks for looking guys,

    Avery don’t do a 286 in their Pantone range but they are sending a sample of 288 which is the closest they do.

    Oracal don’t have a Pantone swatch to compare to, they was first point of call.

    have any of you guys got a reference chart to a vinyl color chart.

    Ive always though this would be so helpful but i have never see anything like it.

    I use oracal 651 as well as Avery 700 series.

    By any chance do you guys have pantone references for these colours.
