TVR Paint Codes to Pantone References
Discussion
Hi
We are working on a new project at present for some new products and we want to have these done in some of the TVR colours.
The idea for the first product is to be in Pepper White (I think thats what its called) and have seen a Tuscan noted in the classifieds before in this colour.
What I need to know is does anyone have TVR paint codes and names and their equivalent Pantone numbers? I've looked through the paint codes forum but this doesn't give me the references I need.
After the Pepper White project the next one we are going to try to create is one of the flip colours. I assume flip colours won't match Pantone references so can anyone explain (a) how the flip colours are produced and (b) where do I get some references from for the paint colours.
Any help would be massivley appreacited

a) The flip colours contain microscopic particles of very thin aluminium coated in magnesium flouride. They act like aligned prisims so what you see is a refraction colour which depends on the angle of the incident light. You also get an interference effect which helps determine the range of colours you see.
b) I am certain there isn't any Pantone reference for flip colours but you may be able to crosmatch Pantone metalic references from a colour swatch for solid metalics. I would be surprised if there is an existing cross reference, but I am sure someone more expert than I will be along soon.
