ColorPro Sense

    It is normal that these two look different. The Pantone color code we show is only the “best match” among the Pantone color guide you choose towards the color you absorbed. What we can show you is limited by the range of color in that color guide.However, please also make sure:

    1. You place your ColorPro Wheel on the selected color area without any gaps.
    2. You do not press the screen too hard with your ColorPro Wheel.
    3. You do not remove the ColorPro Wheel until there is an on-screen message that tells you to do so.
    4. You have the selected color area cover the lens of the wheel completely.

    We also suggest, for a better experience, to set your monitor to sRGB D50 since the viewing condition of Pantone swatch cards is also set at sRGB D50.

    At times, you might find your selected color area to be very small.

    This normally happens on the Mac version only. If so, please go to System Preference > Display, and adjust the text size, to make everything larger.


    Please check if it has been moved to your junk or spam folder.

    As long as you made any changes to your palette, please remember to press the “Save” button before moving to any other pages or else your changes will not be saved.

    You can view the color information window from many places, but with different information and actions enabled:


    (V – Available/ Enabled; X – Unavailable/ Disabled)

    (For those that are not enabled, they will not be shown or grayed out.)
