Does anybody know the Pantone Colour Numbers (?? - not sure of the correct terminology to use) for the six colours on the old Apple logo... or how I could find them out?



Thanks!

    The 'fruit' colors:

    lime=green

    tangerine=orange

    strawberry=red

    Grape=purple

    blueberry=blue



    The non-fruit colors

    Sage=Green

    Graphite=gray

    Snow=White

    Indigo=blue

    Ruby=red



    wait, sorry, are you asking what the color values were? like to recreate them?



    hmm, I dunno, but you might want to use the digital color meter on some pictures



    here's a good, large picture to work from maybe..

    Wrong Robot - thanks for the link to that photo of the fruity iMacs... it's nice to have on file. I also love the old Apple logo from the post above.



    However, I want to know the colour numbers used for the old logo (Pantone colour scheme or something like that).



    Thanks again in advance!

    I'm sorry, I don't know what you are referring too, but have you checked out the digital color meter? to get a sampling of the RGB color values on that logo?

    I can give you the CMYK colour values, but I don't feel like looking up the Pantone codes. These values are taken from an EPS file of the logo sent to people that needed it for reproducing the logo in print.



    The colours from top to bottom of the logo are:



    C: 60%, M: 00%, Y: 97%, K: 00%

    C: 00%, M: 13%, Y: 97%, K: 00%

    C: 00%, M: 57%, Y: 97%, K: 00%

    C: 02%, M: 95%, Y: 94%, K: 00%

    C: 33%, M: 95%, Y: 00%, K: 00%

    C: 97%, M: 08%, Y: 00%, K: 00%
