I am tring to make labels for my company. The label colors are in PMS format. I am have searched all over the internet for a PMS to RGB converter, or the mathmatical calculation to do this with NO luck. All I want to do is convert the PMS color scheme to RGB, so that in a label designing software I will be able to use RGB coloring scheme. (since most programs use this) Please help me!

ian,

Since Pantone colours don't have RGB equivalents you'll never find an accurate conversion table. Adobe Photoshop can come as close as you're going to get so if you have Photoshop or know anyone that does all you have to do is open your file and use the "eyedropper" tool to select the color and then click on the color in the box under the tool and you will see the equivalent RGB values as well as CMYK. If you don't have Photoshop or know anyone that does send me a SMALL image with your colors and i'll reply with their closest RGB values. Remember that RGB will never EXACTLY match the PMS color but can come close enough to satisfy most companies.

ciao,
wired
