Hi all,


freieFarbe/freeColour is proud to have achieved a major milestone in its attempts to \
liberate colour. Its CIE-based approach to colour standardisation has been approved \
by by the German DIN as DIN SPEC 16699 (freely available for download after \
registration under: https://www.beuth.de/de/technische-regel/din-spec-16699/295721446).


This means that, at least in countries that take DIN standards seriously, there's now \
a truly open alternative to Pantone et al. available.

Moreover, fF has created a new Colour Atlas with the addition "XL". It comprises \
13283 FOGRA-certified colours. Most importantly, the Colour Atlas is being printed \
with inks and on materiel that are supposed to last as long as possible and to retain \
its reliability as long as currently technically possible. (The Swiss and German \
approach to products)

Each copy of the atlas includes a certification regarding its accuracy, which is very \
different from colour references produced by commercial colour vendors.

Digital versions of the Colour Atlas and the underlying data can be freely downloaded \
here: http://www.freiefarbe.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/HLC-Colour-Atlas-XL_Set_DE_v1.zip



Enjoy the free colour standard!


Christoph
