Long shot, but does anyone know what the panatone color codes are for the red and green colors of the f type emblem (R or S) ?

 

The Italian in you is showing Vince! It's PANTONE you're seeking, not PANATONE which is a delicious Italian bread especially popular around Christmas.

 

it is good to have friends to keep you straight.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

Bump, anyone have any insight here? Looking for hex codes or pantone color match.

 

I would say you'll either have to eyeball it, or you'll pay someone who says "yeah I have those" and they will just eyeball it and walk off with your $. But I could be wrong.

Speaking of which.... Yeah I have those...

 

As I am in the middle of fabricating a new carbon wheel and have a BBK in need of color coating:

Bumping an old thread to see if, three years later, you or someone else may have found the answer: any dice?

I'm about to give up on my attempts at swatch-matching and just paint the badges with the same green color that I do my brakes and wheel centerline.

Thanks

 

No, I never did find any matching colors codes. I ordered a bunch of different film wrap samples, but didn't find any exact matches. I was trying to match the Jaguar red/green logo.

 

My car is a British Design Edition. That was available in three colors: all the colors of the Union Jack. Mine is red, specifically "Caldera Red" . Specifications for the Union Jack requires the red to be Pantone 186 C.

See Pantone 186-C

 

Pantone CMS system is developed for print industry, for paints it is used RAL system, and many others. You can buy Pantone/RAL swatches and try to match it side-by-side, but ink on paper is very different than paint on non-porous material.
Also, you have to do it under certain lighting conditions (daylight for easy job, or under certified lamp for a precise job).

 

This thread was more fun looking for a panettone. May I recommend chocolate and pear?
