1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,040
five oh my God why so today's ShortCircuit

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:13,259
is a bit of an oddity it's not a tech product however uh it did cost us a lot

3
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:18,260
of money so we're gonna milk it as much as we can

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:18,260
oh my God

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,820
it's this I have not had much of a chance to

6
00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:31,920
explore these so this is my first time kind of really checking them out

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:37,140
they have numbers on top and inside

8
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:41,040
instructions we have to stack them properly so that they have a beautiful

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,239
Pantone gradient oh I guess I should mention what these are

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,960
the best way for me to describe Pantone is essentially the color from your

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,340
monitor is not going to be the exact same as a color that comes out of a

12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:57,780
printer or comes out of a plastic product

13
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:59,640
so when we send design files over to our

14
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:03,359
manufacturers we want to make sure that the samples that we're receiving are

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:09,360
exact with the color that we're expecting using these we can ensure that

16
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:13,860
our colors come out accurate and correct the first time around over in Creator

17
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:18,119
Warehouse we use Pantone chips all the time I myself use coated pantones

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,700
Bridget and the fashion team use tcx which stands for textile cotton extended

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,720
codes and then over in the engineering team they were kind of missing out so we

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,259
ended up splurging and buying these plastic Pantone chips which is what

21
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:37,020
we'll be checking out today these are a little more difficult to put

22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,259
together than I had expected but I guess that that's maybe just user error

23
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:45,540
because this is the first time I'm doing this now the Pantone booklets that I use

24
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:51,960
the coated ones uh those can cost upwards of 400 USD so obviously all of

25
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:57,060
the Pantone products are expensive but to be fair Pantone has to make sure that

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,320
all of the colors come out exactly how they are supposed to for these booklets

27
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:05,399
in particular Pantone recommends that you switch it out every 12 to 18 months

28
00:02:03,659 --> 00:02:11,580
just because the colors will fade eventually with them rubbing around or

29
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,260
getting Sun bleached whereas these

30
00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:17,520
plastic chips obviously since they're solid color

31
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:22,800
um they last quite a bit longer oh I forgot the the little lazy Susan on the

32
00:02:20,459 --> 00:02:26,760
bottom there we go I will say as a designer I

33
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:31,200
wholeheartedly appreciate everything Pantone designs and makes because it

34
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:36,900
really does make our job a lot easier with our screwdriver uh it has a end cap

35
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,840
and a beauty ring and we had gone through like 20 samples trying to

36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,500
perfect the color of the beauty ring um and we had gotten to the point where

37
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:51,660
we were finally fed up we were sending them the coated solid coated Pantone

38
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:55,560
codes and obviously on paper it's a lot different than it would be on plastic we

39
00:02:54,060 --> 00:02:59,580
finally decided you know what we're spending so much money in samples that

40
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,959
we might as well just splurge and get the Pantone chip so that we can make

41
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,340
sure that our samples are correct the first time around now one thing I do

42
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,319
really want to talk about is Pantone had launched these color plastic chip books

43
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:17,340
a while back I believe it was their first ones that they ever launched but

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,819
even Pantone says that those are supposed to be used as inspiration

45
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:27,480
instead of actually being used as reference going with these which are

46
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,920
actual Pantone formulated chips these

47
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,360
were the right way to go even though they cost a couple more thousand dollars

48
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,860
than the books themselves hey I heard you want to be part of this video

49
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,879
what do you think you spent uh ten thousand dollars on these bad boys no I

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,280
don't want to talk about that part actually I do want to talk about that

51
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,280
part why

52
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:54,299
we need them to make sure oh okay well

53
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,840
would you prefer that we get hundreds of different samples trying to get the

54
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:02,340
right color or we get the right color first time around because we have a chip

55
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,239
to reference that's a lot of greens why do we even need this many greens the

56
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,299
difference between this green and this green like look at them no I want you to

57
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:17,280
look at them okay Miss color okay okay

58
00:04:12,299 --> 00:04:19,079
here we go we got a okay we got B okay

59
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,280
okay now I'm gonna shuffle them

60
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,620
oh no which one was this that was

61
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,660
a I don't actually know you could be right I think B was a little more yellow

62
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:38,220
okay no wait I don't even know but are different you

63
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:43,620
can't tell me those look the same looking I'm completely different a

64
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:50,120
completely different depends on the angle of the light hitting them but sure

65
00:04:46,259 --> 00:04:53,100
how are these even labeled oh oh

66
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:57,300
I want you to be part of this part okay so you would think these beautiful ten

67
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:04,320
thousand dollar I'm gonna keep reminding you of the price because that's quite extravagant these beautiful ten thousand

68
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,759
dollar chips okay you would expect them to have an index right because they've

69
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,979
got their numbers but obviously each Pantone is labeled differently yeah so

70
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:20,639
that's the thing yeah why doesn't number 13 say 13 anywhere why would it do that

71
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,180
that would be stupid okay but you know what else is stupid Linus

72
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:27,360
so the way that you can figure out which number

73
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,400
goes with which you're not going to believe this I couldn't believe this

74
00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:37,080
here's your index oh my God who uses these anymore I know

75
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,500
and I don't even know what the software looks like for this yet we're gonna have

76
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,880
to figure it out world's most expensive wheel yeah take

77
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,419
that Lamborghini like man you know you got little kids

78
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:51,139
it's like what's your favorite color Sarah's gonna be like

79
00:05:51,139 --> 00:05:58,319
TQ 2416c no I will say my favorite Pantone

80
00:05:55,979 --> 00:06:03,900
code for a while was 14.95 which is a beautiful like lemony orange color

81
00:06:01,139 --> 00:06:08,100
that would be in this pile here which is our our oranges and red stack which is

82
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:14,039
still in the box orange and red because it takes 10 minutes to stack these

83
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,039
things what the hell bring it on over oh

84
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:22,440
look at that we got some falling out fellow yeah yep now I need a CD drive to

85
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,819
know where it goes okay so sorry what's your favorite pants

86
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:32,940
14.95 what kind of nerd has a favorite Pantone

87
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,259
code designers actually in the comments

88
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:37,740
let us know what your favorite Pantone code is I also don't really like

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,500
understand how it's sorted to be honest with you

90
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:47,340
like it's not necessarily sorted strategically it's just sorted by like

91
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,419
color shade I'm gonna pick this this is pretty good

92
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:55,020
I like 320. nice let's make a screwdriver in that color so it's not

93
00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:59,520
about how much you spend on samples it's about the opportunity cost of waiting

94
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:04,380
around for those samples every week that screwdriver gets delayed could be

95
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:11,099
costing us tens of thousands of dollars so being able to just say hey

96
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,419
go get this chip if it doesn't look like that it's not good enough instead of

97
00:07:13,259 --> 00:07:19,740
having them send it to us for approval send it back to them try again send it

98
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:24,319
to us these processes take weeks we're never gonna find that color no we're not

99
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:29,280
but we didn't even get it 14.95 yeah oh there it is yeah oh but

100
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:35,160
that doesn't tell us where to find this on here no no I told you the

101
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:36,900
use the disk drive oh my God yeah what

102
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:43,020
the hell so they've all got numbers except for some this is PQ warm red C

103
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:49,020
that was my that was my brand color in school PQ orange

104
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:54,720
o21c sure okay see you later Sarah thanks oh I

105
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:59,099
will oh wow okay so that's one thing I want to mention

106
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,840
is when these were being unboxed for the first time we definitely noticed there

107
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:07,139
were a lot of chips that fall out and for ten thousand dollars you would hope

108
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:12,240
that Pantone would focus on making sure that chips stay in that way none of them

109
00:08:09,539 --> 00:08:18,180
get lost or confused with that said another thing is when pulling them out

110
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:21,720
some of them are a bit sticky

111
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:24,060
and me who always has clammy hands does

112
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,539
have some difficulty getting them out of the slot

113
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:40,620
that would have been terrible okay yeah this see how easy this pink is to like

114
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:42,599
take out it just it just falls out

115
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:47,940
yeah there's definitely a couple that you can see kind of Wiggle oh yeah see

116
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:53,640
look at over here up here they're just a little a little too loose

117
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:57,720
for my liking each color tip costs twenty dollars and five cents USD to

118
00:08:55,980 --> 00:09:00,080
purchase and that's before tax and shipping

119
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:09,600
move them together forever

120
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:12,540
all together there's approximately 1 755

121
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:18,660
chips that includes Neons pastels and metallics before we put this in let's

122
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,160
get into our sponsor vessi thanks to

them everywhere keep your feet dry and save 25 dollars with our code short

130
00:09:45,959 --> 00:09:54,480
circuit at vessey.com ShortCircuit here I have an ancient artifact uh dating

131
00:09:51,600 --> 00:10:02,640
back to probably 2008 and then this arriving with a 2020 2000 2022 product

132
00:09:58,980 --> 00:10:04,079
like pardon me and they make books and

133
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,180
they don't have the index in book form can you believe that Riley can you

134
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,180
believe that

135
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:24,060
oh there it is Pantone plus Plastics standard chips collection okay okay it

136
00:10:21,779 --> 00:10:29,459
is in PDF form I take back all my slander these are all PDF forms so I can

137
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:33,200
simply move them onto my desktop and not have to worry about using the disk

138
00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:41,399
anymore we gotta find 1655c that is our brand color

139
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:47,220
of course I have to use it all the time

140
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:49,260
so we've got 1655c in tray 2 and it is

141
00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:52,980
number 86. um because Pantone put the numbers on

142
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,180
top of each of these little trays when it says tray two I have to go back to

143
00:10:55,140 --> 00:11:02,700
this form now and figure out which tray is number two which is this one

144
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:05,339
and now I'll find my Pantone chip

145
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:10,760
oh there goes another one no it's purple

146
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:15,300
this is purple Marcus what color is this

147
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:17,600
no wait it is with the pink Pantone

148
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:17,600
chips

149
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:25,880
it does look purple i s I swear this is

150
00:11:23,579 --> 00:11:33,779
like a light lilac 0.0115 violet

151
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:36,240
and 1.1300 white so it's definitely

152
00:11:33,779 --> 00:11:42,360
purple okay I've got ltd's brand code which is 1655c uh and it says it's Tower

153
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:50,399
two which is this one we've realized and it is number 86. this is it Pantone 65

154
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:53,940
16 55c what a beautiful color lastly

155
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:55,860
let's do a real test let's see if I can

156
00:11:53,940 --> 00:12:00,500
match a Pantone code to an actual product

157
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:05,100
oh my God this is my SNES controller I want to

158
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:11,940
color match the gray color here obviously there's only

159
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,459
1755 colors here and there are millions

160
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:19,200
of color combinations so I can't guarantee that I'm gonna find an exact

161
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:24,000
match for this color but let's see if we can find a close match at first glance

162
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:27,779
it's a bit more of a purpley gray so I'm not gonna go to my cooler warm Grays I'm

163
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:33,600
actually going to go to my purple selectors and my blue selectors so I'll

164
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,600
have to bring this one over as well

165
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600
oh

166
00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:46,440
lighter but that is pretty close so I might have to

167
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:51,060
go a little darker if I can another really neat thing about these Pantone

168
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:55,560
chips is as you can see with this Nest controller

169
00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:59,579
we have a more matte finish to the

170
00:12:55,560 --> 00:13:02,040
controller itself but the buttons have a

171
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:07,680
gloss finish or a shiny finish and the Pantone chips

172
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:09,959
offer a matte finish on one side and a

173
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:15,420
gloss finish on the other side it's really awesome and extremely useful for

174
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:20,160
all of the products that we've been working on I honestly think I found it I

175
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,360
don't see anything closer I'm gonna say maybe these two

176
00:13:21,959 --> 00:13:28,800
this one is closer just because it's a tad darker hopefully this unboxing was

177
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,880
not only informative but also gave you an idea as to the kind of workflow and

178
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,079
things that we do over in Creator Warehouse while these Pantone chips are

179
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:41,339
expensive they are incredibly useful for our day-to-day work and I don't know I

180
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:44,880
hope you enjoy it yeah sign up for the LTT screwdriver and

181
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:49,620
backpack and if you want to watch another expensive unboxing go watch the

182
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:53,339
