It's crazy the distinctions they can see! I tried really hard and everything still just looked like "pink" to me. Madness.
In the comments, someone who claims to be a former Pantone employee writes, "Having worked for Pantone years ago I know how exacting the color standards are in real life. The amount of fabric that was " off" was amazing."
Can you tell the difference? Because if you can, I have a ticket to Hogwarts with your name on it. (JK Hogwarts is closed, nerds.)
