> He thinks he owns literal hex codes

Pantone would like a word.

Pantone is a lot more than hex codes, it's a whole system of material science for colors.

Yep - Give them a Pantone Color and a Material, and they can tell you how to get that material in that exact color.

I dunno. I asked for the Pantone of neon brown on transparent aluminum and they stopped returning my calls.

You should do stand-up comedy.

Neon brown is orange :)

Pantone does a lot of legitimate work, but also they pretend to own the hex codes for their colors.
