Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1178107, member: 2585"] I have no inside knowledge on their issues. Seems crazy to me too. But if they are trying to match metallic orange helmets to a uni exactly - that could be harder than you think. Dye color vs whatever kind of paint is on the helmet. If you've ever tried to find drapes that match a wall color exactly, you can imagine some of the issues. The official color is not "orange" it's something like Pantone #WGR566 (made that up). Matching that specific color could be an issue. Another example: One of my clients love green. They want all of their print stuff to be neon green. Okay. Well printing uses a CMYK ink mix to achieve "full color" - but there are some specific colors, neon green being one - that is near impossible to get as bright due to the way the ink mixes. On screen? Neon as neon gets. In Print? Dull. Now, I'll go eat nails and pound some PBR to get my man card back ;). [/QUOTE]
