Use Pantone Uncoated (U) and CMYK Uncoated formulas when printing on uncoated stock. Use the Pantone Coated (C) and CMYK Coated formulas when printing on coated paper stock. To obtain a swatch packet of these colors, please email Additionally, ink mixtures to achieve these colors for printing are available below. Designers and vendors must refer to approved color swatches to ensure color accuracy. When UVA Orange and UVA Blue are printed as Pantone colors, they cannot be referenced by standard Pantone numbers. Primary Color Palette - For Print Purposes UVA Orange and UVA Blue are available in Spot, CMYK and RGB formulas. Note that UVA Orange and UVA Blue use UVA-specific formulas to ensure greater production consistency and to better manage licensed use by approved University vendors. The inclusion of white in the color palette is intentional as the use of “white space” helps emphasize the logo, text and messaging. UVA Orange and UVA Blue are to be used in all full-color logos and across all communications and applications. The primary palette features UVA Orange, UVA Blue and White. If it's for any print application, then use an application (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) that will preserve the Pantone number, and tints, in that form.The institution’s color palette is a powerful and important asset in establishing a strong, consistent identity for the University. a web page), based on a corporate colour scheme that's specified in Pantone colours? That's one of the few occasions where converting from Pantone to RGB would be a safe thing to do - because it's inevitable, it has to be done, because the end user is going to see it as RGB. What "the right thing" to do is, will depend completely on what your end use is.Īre you by any chance creating an application for a monitor (e.g. So, R = + = 0 + 179 = 179Īnd G = + = 30 + 179 = 209Īnd B = + = 29 + 179 = 208īut remember - when you convert between Pantone and RGB or between Pantone and CMYK, you're going to change colours a bit. To get a tint of N (where N is in the range 0.01 to 0.99 0.01=1%, 0.99=99%): for each colour value X in RGB, take +, to get the RGB value of your tint. That's because 127 is about halfway between 0 and 255. Then a 50% tint is pretty much halfway between the two - and that calculation is done for each of R,G,B separately. If the RGB of your Pantone colour is (0, 101, 96)Īnd the background is pure white, i.e. To get an approximation to the RGB of the tint value, you need a bit of arithmetic: Make an new document 100 pixels square and fill it with the yellow. In Photoshop, I'd select my Pantone color (for the sake of argument, Pantone 123, a sunny yellow). To get the RGB values for the tint? Honestly, I'd cheat. (Yes, Illustrator is annoying this way.) The same list as in Photoshop should pop up. In the Swatches palette, click on the Options icon (the three lines with the down arrow, not the two right arrows) and scroll down to Open Swatch Library. In Illustrator, go under Window and select Swatches. So you have various sets of pastels, metallics, process, and solid colors, which shift slightly depending on whether you're printing on coated or uncoated paper. In the dropdown menu at the top of the box, you have a slew of Pantone libraries (which are just groups of swatches). When the Color Picker comes up, click on Color Libraries.
In Photoshop, click on the Set Foreground Color box in the vertical toolbar. It's just a standard so everybody can agree on what "kelly green" is. To answer your second question first, Pantone is a color-matching system, like Trumatch or Toyo.
