358 Copic Colour swatches

Just noticed the BV-V set is listed twice on the Mediafire page, while the RV set is missing. I downloaded both files in case it’s a naming mishap, but they were both the BV-V set (despite different file sizes).

Then again, my Krita borked after awhile refusing to import anything, so maybe it just glitched out.

I remember trying out Sketchbook before I got serious with Krita and remember that Copic thing but didn’t know why and what it’s all about. Since I have a bit of OCD when it comes to stuff like this, I’m thinking of putting it together myself for personal use. I found a PDF and a few swatches by others and even the app itself by Copic and they’re all different. Anyway, if Copic got removed from Sketchbook because of licensing, does this mean that it’s not legal to share and pass these palettes around? I honestly don’t, so just asking.

I do not know that it would be possible to withdraw a license after it has been granted. At best, one can deny new customers a previously included license or then offer it for a fee. Every person who has Sketchbook with the Copic palettes is allowed to use them until the software stops working. Also, you are not obligated to update, for example, this can be interesting in software where features are suddenly removed or become chargeable.

These are just RGB swatches, there’s no license for that. You cannot own RGB colour combinations…

Let me know if the issue remains present, I can look into it. I didn’t modify any of my old files, just dragged and dropped them into mediafire again.

I also don’t believe that you can own RGB values, but what if I sampled straight from their app and take their exact RGB values? For personal use I have no problem, but if I want to share it here later, then I do wonder…

Who can prove that you did so? No one! You could have chosen these values by accident.

Hi

not exactly
like Pantone, it could be under license

the color combination itself is not under license, everyone can use #667744 for example

But the combination
of a name associated with the color can be under license

that’s what happened on Adobe Photoshop, where when pantone license were not available anymore, users lost colors in some of their documents because adobe was not allowed anymore to put a color to a pantone name identifier…

The brushes also matter for exact colour reproduction though.

@Grum999 Pantone is a system for colours from software to manufacturing, that’s way more involved than just RGB. It enables consistent colours for plastics to shirt prints, etc.
