I read recently that Photoshop had Pantone colors, but recently Adobe’s Pantone license expired, so images created using Pantone colors simply lost that part of the image.
I’m not an expert on color, but isn’t almost anything represented by RGB? Why aren’t those colors just … colors? With specific number values that are encoded? Can these colors not be understood through regular web hex codes?

the images on the computer could, but that was never the value of pantone.
pantone is both a system of representing color and a standard with reference samples FOR those colors on or in various materials and processes.
when your #34a29c isn’t as #34a29c as it is supposed to be you end up with a finger pointing game and likely no real resolution.
when your “Viva Magenta 18-1750” isn’t right you bust out your $10k sample set from pantone and tell the vendor to get f’ed and remake the product.
