[CREATE] Adobe CC soon without Pantone libraries

[Christoph Schäfer]

Hi all,


In March 2022, Pantone colour palettes will be removed from Adobe CC products. (https://www.printweek.com/product%20news/article/adobe-to-drop-pantone-colour-system)

It's currently unclear what's behind this move, since the corporate speak of both companies is more obfuscating than enlightened.

At first glance it seems to me like Pantone has found a new way to milk customers via its Pantone Connect plug-in, which enables access to the palettes for subscribers.

I hope freieFarbe / freeColour will finally release its alternative palettes in 2022 under the zlib licence, so that free software projects, as well as commercial vendors can include them without issues.
