How accurate is it to take an image that has the appearance of spot colors in to Photoshop and do a sampling there under Color Libraries to achieve the Pantone number? Just to get a close ballpark number. Most oftentimes that number and then matching the image to a chip chart were very close.
I’ve been doing that method for years, and now I wonder. It used to be rather quite very close, but now that we’re in CS2 when I have done a test with a graphic from AI and copied that in to PS, with difffering variables (Pantone in AI copied to RGB, Index, CMYK, Lab, etc in PS), the colors no longer matched.
My eyes can’t pick up the subtle nuances of color differences to be able to look at the image and compare it to a chip chart. Nor am I able to know what the differences between navy, indigo, blueberry, etc. are. Just give me a Pantone number if you want a specific color.
Just wondering.
