Although the colors we use in design tools are actually just the equivalent of numerical expressions listed in a certain order, some special colors may be subject to various licenses and branding. Among these colors are the ‘Pantone’ colors, which are frequently used in many sectors.
The colors offered exclusively within the ‘Pantone Matching System’ came up with a striking development today. These colors, which were offered for free in Photoshop, are now paid.
Pantone colors are paid in Photoshop!
With the change in Pantone’s business model, Pantone colors in the library of applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign became paid. Users who want to use these colors have started to be asked to pay $ 15 per month or $ 90 per year.
Moreover, users who do not have this license were deprived of losing these colors in their previous projects. Users encountered a license warning when they opened their previous projects using Pantone colors. If the license was not obtained, the Pantone colors in the project were replaced by black.
Of course, this crime does not belong to Adobe. This change, which obliges users to pay to use colors, was made by Pantone.
