Hi everyone. I've been noticing a few threads and comments lately from users feeling constrained by the built-in color palette system in Recraft. Specifically, the question of Pantone support has come up a few times for designers needing precise brand color matching.
While the tool offers a great range of standard color models (HEX, RGB, HSL), I understand that for professional workflows—especially in print or established brand systems—the ability to input a specific Pantone code (like PMS 185 C) is a common need. Currently, the direct import of Pantone libraries isn't a native feature.
For those hitting this limitation, what are your current workarounds? Are you manually matching by eye using the color sliders, or do you have an external reference you convert to HEX/RGB before bringing it in? I'm also curious if this is primarily a concern for those in specific industries (e.g., packaging, corporate branding) versus general graphic design.
I think collecting some specific use cases here would be valuable. If you're affected, could you share:
* Your typical project type
* How often you need to match a Pantone color
* The workaround you're using now, and how accurate/satisfactory it is
This kind of concrete feedback is always the most useful for the community and for any potential feature considerations. Let's keep the discussion focused on practical experiences and solutions.
Keep it real, keep it kind.
