I would think that using the eye dropper on a Pantone swatch is just as accurate and way easier than doing the math (which some people might actually get wrong) 😉

Good. Not that you’d be surprised but, the accuracy is from the ExtMon. Both the Timeline and Vegas INTERNAL Monitor get it wrong.

In that case, doing the math might be a more dependable solution.

Also I thought you might have said something about me screen grabbing the “swatch” and saving it, and here that was as a JPG. I was concerned about me introducing a “different” colour space – yeah? Hence my previous trepidation about my suggestion.

You can certainly get in trouble with JPG’s because they do introduce artifacts. Thats why I like math. It’s deadly accurate.
