Pantone responds with updated white paper

Pantone has updated the white paper on its website – originally created on 13 September 2007, as shown by the properties of the pdf file on their website – after the open letter has been sent to them by VIGC and has been posted on the GraphicBrain.com website.

Now it explicitly states that the RGB values on the color guides are sRGB, which was not the case in the previous version. VIGC looked up the old version via the html-version of the Google search engine. This 'html' function caches pdf documents that Google encounters on the internet. VIGC has posted a pdf printout of the old version (without the graphics unfortunately) on their website: www.graphicbrain.com/pantonegoe.

‘VIGC applauds the fast action of Pantone, on the condition that also the color guides, those patches and the user interface of their software will explicitly mention that the RGB values are sRGB,’ said a statement.
