This color standardization process means that, for example, a poster made in Adobe InDesign looks exactly the same when it’s printed out as a giant billboard.Scores of Photoshop and Illustrator users who have used certain Pantone color collections in their works have recently been confronted with the fallout of a disagreement between Adobe and Pantone.Why that happened was never certain; rumors spread that it was over the cost of including Pantone in Adobe software, while Pantone publicly said that it felt Adobe wasn’t keeping pace with the plethora of new colors it released.Adobe’s chief product officer, Scott Belsky, has tweeted that Pantone asked Adobe to remove the colors, “as they want to charge customers directly.”The Pantone block was meant to be implemented earlier this year, but it appears Adobe has finally pulled the plug—unless users are willing to pay $15 a month for a license for Pantone color books.Semple—who disliked Adobe's shift to a subscription-first product—also fears that this latest move to charge for Pantone colors will make it harder for young artists with less disposable income to use what is an important set of color palettes for anyone who wants to produce a printed product."
