Hi all,
three years ago we got the following data from the people who did the
Fellowship layout:
- SmartCard bright green: 50,0,100,0 (CMYK), or Pantone: 376C
- SmartCard dark green & logo: 70,0,100,0 (CMYK), or Pantone: 361C
- RGB logo color: 99,152,41 (Web only)
Now we have some problems with that. We want to use the same color for
all websites and website buttons, etc. and also consistent in all
printed forms. We know that we can never be consistent across different
mediums, at least not 100%. But we would like to aim to be consistent
within the same medium, so all web pages using the fellowship greens
should have the same colour of green, and so on.
Gimp said that 70/0/100/0 is 6bb340. But how can it at the same time be
639829 as they claim for the fellowship logo??
Is this statement true:
I don't think you should stare yourself blind at that :-) According
to this page for instance,
http://blog.indika.net.id/html-color-codes-matching-chart-pantone-cmyk-rgb-…
7489 C is not 70/0/100/0 but 60/0/80/7 :-) There's no one true
perfect answer for either, since even saying that 7489 C is
70/0/100/0 is a conversion from the Pantone scale to the CMYK scale.
It's a lossy conversation if you will ;-)
Is there a perfect mathematically strict conversion between RGB and
CMYK? Or is it dependant on a lot of things? Does it depend which
printer you are using when using CMYK?
Reinhard found this one and said that it is perhaps what we need:
http://www.publisher.ch/heft/056/Pantone.php3
Wie erscheint eine Pantone-Sonderfarbe, wenn sie im Vierfarbendruck mit
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow und Schwarz simuliert wird? Die Color Bridge gibt
darauf eine optische Antwort. Mit diesem Werkzeug können Sonderfarben
direkt mit den entsprechenden und neu bestimmten Prozessfarben
verglichen werden. Zudem erhält der Anwender der Color Bridge die sRGB-
und HTML-Farbwerte der jeweiligen Pantone-Farbe.
Can someone here help us what we have to do to be consitent in differnt
media (web, print)? We do not have much clue about that.
Thanks,
Matthias

Hi all,
as an first real life example for the use of this list:
http://www.difficulties.de/tmp/fsfe-draft/index.html is a beta draft for
how the new modules of the Fellowship website should work together. And
On the entry page it should be explained what the Fellowship is.
Therefor I want to use a graphic (attached as inkscape SVG) in the way
it is already on the page. It should illustrate that one fellow adds
something to the Fellowship and that you are not alone.
But as I am a design dummy I would like to ask if somone from you can
make this graphic look good ;) I made it with Inkscape. Perhaps also the
gradient plussy can be used for that, I do not know
(http://www.fsfe.org/en/fun/artwork/materials).
We need this graphic:
- for the website (png)
- for presentations (eps)
- and in the source file (gimp, inkscape, whatever)
Does someone have time to do this?
Thanks,
Matthias
