Pantone wants $15/month for the privilege of using its colors in Photoshop

If you want to use Pantone colors inside of Adobe's apps, it's about to get even more expensive.
Seems like a lot of money for a hex code
OK, a CMYK code. We are talking designers here. Still. It's the "the color gets replaced with black" that I imagine really irks.

:elephant: subscriptions! Why not $16/month? For that you can get two verified Twitter accounts. Just saying...

How can you copyright a number? I guess you could copyright the name given to that number. Oracle is smacking itself in the head, "THAT'S how we could have done it!"
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

If you invent something, it goes to the public after 20 years. But the Pantone system somehow has all of the protections of Mickey Mouse! :omg:

I can see the industry shifting away from Pantone as fast as they shifted away from GIFs and for the same reason.
MySQL, Java... Take something that was free, build a paywall without offering any service and then wonder why people change product.

The problem Pantone solves is a serious one that I doubt can be solved in another way, so I kinda doubt they will go away. It may be the case that they are used much less by non-professionals, but pros will always need a way to translate a color between mediums (print, t-shirts, plastics, etc.) and get the same color. If you find another system that does what Pantone does, holler. (I'm not a professional, and don't need it, but I'm always curious.)
