yeah, I was wondering about this. It may have some use for converting pantones to web colors on the fly? But how often would you need that. $10 is a bit too much for me to pay for me because I need swatches mainly for screenprinting…

Sounds pretty cool! I would like to see how well it works before I purchase though.

Okay, here's my million dollar idea for the day. Allow the app to take the pictures on your iphone and use an eyedropper to select the colors in the photo and match it to a Pantone equivalent. Boom.

Good point. As I mentioned above, I doubt Pantone intends this as a replacement for your swatch books. But for a quick lookup and a way to save for later fine-tuning, I can see it being handy. I can envision seeing a great color combo sitting in a doctor's waiting room where you just want to capture a 'sketch' of the basic color scheme. Head home, pick the actual colors with your swatch book.

Thanks for the followup. I haven't tried the app myself, as I don't have much use for it in the work I do.

I posted this more as a "heads up" than a review or recommendation. Seems to me the app is best suited for quick on-the-go reference/reminder for later when you get home, as opposed to a substitution for an actual physical swatch book. I doubt Pantone intended it as a replacement.

As far as pricing, I think we'll see a trend where the $1 app will go by the wayside, especially for something more involved to produce such as this app.

Pantone sent me a link to their help page on this matter: http://bit.ly/2z3PZ9

It's not exactly clear, but my take is that it's not something you'd use for precise measurements or color choice. More of a quickie reference to get you close, so when you get home you can have a reference.
