H2 Blue
H1E Green
S2 Red
H2C Purple
H1B Orange

any information would be helpful
Thanks Mark

WTF is Pantone mate ?? thought it was an Italian cake?? More info as there is a paint shop here and everyone is soooo helpful this way so I could ask??? Is it a paint brand like Sikkens etc ?? You gone thru them carbs yet

I've got a Pantone book from my print buying days, but not the bikes to colour match up against I'm afraid.

A Pantone code is the basic language code for colours

Ahh ok way above my station. Even base coats and metalflake et al ???

Ermmmm, not sure about that one, there will probably be some kind of coding in order to mix :wink:

To specify what colours to get some printed material done in I would hazard an educated guess at Neil.

Spot on Hal

looking to get some more badges made but with the colour of the bikes as a background colour , so any help would be great

I have just had some British rims painted in the centre.
I had the RAL code number for the paint to ensure a match - WRONG

The RAL 4004 that the hubs were painted in was a different RAL 4004 that the rim painter got.

You may have to get colour swatches from the company making the badges etc that are pretty damned close Mark.

Pantone is used by designers and printers.

It's no good for talking about paint unfortunately.

It's not as good as a proper Pantone swatch set due to screen colour limitations, but a handy guide

pantone is a colour reference, it is for an ink printed onto a white background, it is an approximation when it comes to paintes or lacquers, although many designers dont fully appreciate that, start adding transparent colours and metallics and it sioon fucks everything up.
