Paint It Black: Adobe Files Lose Pantone Support As The Color Company Gets SaaSy

Published

If you fired up your computer this morning and opened a file in an Abobe application with a Pantone color, you may have been shocked to see a notice about it being no longer available and changed to black.

The message may have surprised you, but we were also warned this day would come since last November, albeit in a somewhat vague statement buried in an Adobe help document. Moving forward, if you want to use Pantone within Abobe’s software suite, get ready for yet another subscription, as you’ll need to shell out for Pantone Connect at $15 a month.

For now.
