Hi all,
Finally some new updates.
We've locked in all three colour samples from GMK. Unfortunately, I was not able to sample a third round of pink to my original Pantone due to regulations on GMK's side. Due to new limits with regards to some pinks and reds, GMK cannot increase the saturation I'd asked for (Getting it closer to my reference Pantone than what I had currently).
This was disappointing as unfortunately (to my knowledge anyway), GMK have never discussed such limitations previously. We've seen sets run in the past such as Future Funk (2020) that used very vibrant pinks (And the legislation quoted to me was from 2006 so it's even more confusing) but in any event, it is unfortunately what it is.
Nevertheless, the second of the pinks is actually quite beautiful and I've attached some really quick pictures under some different lighting so you can see how they all meld together. (Please note this was not the pink photographed above, but the samples were very close together in terms of hue)
Will keep everyone posted as to progress!
