Aldus PageMaker comes with specifications in RGB/CMYK of 750 or so Pantone colours, which are used in the printing industry. I know Pantone is a trademark; does this mean that the colours (and/or their names?) are trademarked? Furthermore, is there a useful (=> RGB, XYZ, CMYK, etc) specification for the colours available? Many thanks. Adrian F.

Their color chips vary from copy to copy of their Books-o-Color. An art supply store/commercial printer should be able to put you in touch with Pantone, Inc. Hopefully they can supply you with colorimetric data regarding their colors. . . .Will Will Allen HP Vancouver Division willa@hpvcfs1.hp.com or ...!hplabs!hpvcfs1!willa
