Reply to comment by RandomNumsandLetters in ELI5: How is that Pantone colors don't have direct RGB counterparts? by ExternalUserError

This gets into a cost benefit question. Pantone air carefully calibrate their prices to keep them just below where it's worthwhile to switch.

Eventually they will get too greedy, but that may take decades.

Don't you think that the current kerfuffle with Adobe shows they erred a bit on the greedy side?

Are they charging more than it costs to change? I don't think so. I think the industry will complain, but they will pay because it's easier, faster, and cheaper.
