Which RGB?
David Milisock said:Which RGB?
Hi David.
sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Remember that some Pantone colors may be out of gamut for sRGB, a quick Macro woul dbe the best if you can find one for your operating system and CorelDRAW version. otherwise the fill or outline dialog will give you the proper conversion. Quick is the issue and a Macro, (I'm sure Jeff can point you to one that will work or give you instructions for th eone he already recommended) or the find replace tool.
Hi David.Thanks for your reply.You know why the color dialog box in CorelDraw show only Hexadecimal and CMYK conversions, when you select a RGB value?Where is Pantone conversion?...If is out of the gamut could show you the closest color..Would be very useful!Thanks again!

Hey Jesus,
In your Palette Libraries, see attached.
for a better resuts, under Color Management dialog, change Pantone values to RGB instead Lab

[/quote] Tools / color management / default settings The importance of this option is if you need to convert a Pantone to CMYK (or RGB). Default setting is Lab, the best for display the most accurte color, but for the most exact converttion to CMYK, change the "spot color definition" to CMYK

Hi Brute-Fish.
That is what I was looking for!And it's fast!Thanks a lot!
What I mean is other issue: the color correspondence (Pantone / RGB / CMYK) change according with you Color Profile. There's not only one equivalence, if you modify your color profile (under Tools / Color Management / Default setting or document settings) the values will be different.
