Free Pantone Replacement Palette
-
In light of the craziness between Adobe and Pantone, someone decided to create a spot color palette based on Pantone's numbering system and called them "Freetones". I had heard of it for a few weeks and decided to give them a try. I downloaded them and installed the ase file into VS without any issues. I'll be trying them out going forward. From what others have mentioned who have used it, it's not perfect, but it gives a close representation of the color and that the real priority is that your printer uses the real color when they print them
