I am trying to match paint chips from Kelly Moore to Pantone colors in Revit so I can get an exact match. For example is there a way to figure out what the RGB of Spanish sand in Kelly Moore would be in Pantone?

Be aware that nothing shown on computer screens can really be relied on.  Every screen and printer will show colors differently because there is no really good standard. 

 

But... on one system, you can match the colors on that screen.  They may not print the same as what you see on the screen.

I appreciate the responses. In revit 2014 when selecting the RGB colors there is an Pantone option. I guess what I'm looking for is a cross reference from other paint manufaturors color chips to the Pantone number. So a Benjimen Moore Kelly Green would be what Pantone number.

How do others match color chips exactly in there renderings?

the link i sent you had all the pantone rgb numbers.

all you need is the benjamin moore rgb number.

if there is no match, you cant match with a pantone.

but a near match, so a customised pantone.
