Hi, does anyone here perhaps have these PMS codes/numbers? To start with, Coleman ventilator dark green and Seafoam green, and then any others that are available. We know there were some variations in the colours that the manufacturers used over the years, but I suppose we have to start somewhere. I have uploaded a pdf chart, but we also know computer screens and printers are notorious for poor colour accuracy. I have access to the official charts at a local signage shop too.
@phaedrus42 Great idea however these things get lost. Perhaps a special area for them. I'm thinking similar database suggestions have been raised in the past for globes. Compatability charts would be fantastic. Many exist in brand specific format but would be nice for some to be ongoing. Specifically in respect of your suggestion I think it should encompass known spray paint cans that match or are very very close as often they will suffice for fount colors. I have stumbled across several cans that are almost perfect matches for certain lamps, irons etc. Good idea on your part. will watch to see if there is support for it to progress.
Don't forget the Munsell and RAL colour codes/charts too. On the Coleman greens, I can never be sure what are the most matching codes corresponding to 'Green', 'Hunter Green', 'Dark Green', 'Seafoam Green' and so on.
On their site Pantone recommends using their FHI system to match paints rather than the PMS system which is designed for print colors.
