I posed this question a few days back on the GIMP-devel list, but I never got a response, so I thought I'd ask here.
I need a color matching book, so that when I tell GIMP that I want a specific color, it will print that color, regardless of the printer used. There are a number of books out there, and none of them are supported by GIMP, and in fact probably won't be supported for some time.
By far, the industry standard is Pantone, which is very heavily protected by IP rights. I've pretty much accepted that GIMP will never have Pantone colors, but since there are competitors, I'm OK with that, since there are competitors.
The question is, does anyone have any suggestions for color match books that GIMP would be more likely to support in the future than others?
I see there's ANPA, DIC, FOCOLTONE, HKS, TOYO, and TruMatch. I also know that Munsell and a few government agencies make color match books. Any recommendations?
