WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.040 five oh my God why so today's ShortCircuit 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 00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:18.260 of money so we're gonna milk it as much as we can 00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.260 oh my God 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.820 it's this I have not had much of a chance to 00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:31.920 explore these so this is my first time kind of really checking them out 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:37.140 they have numbers on top and inside 00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:41.040 instructions we have to stack them properly so that they have a beautiful 00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:45.239 Pantone gradient oh I guess I should mention what these are 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:48.960 the best way for me to describe Pantone is essentially the color from your 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 00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:57.780 printer or comes out of a plastic product 00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:59.640 so when we send design files over to our 00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:03.359 manufacturers we want to make sure that the samples that we're receiving are 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:09.360 exact with the color that we're expecting using these we can ensure that 00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:13.860 our colors come out accurate and correct the first time around over in Creator 00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:18.119 Warehouse we use Pantone chips all the time I myself use coated pantones 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.700 Bridget and the fashion team use tcx which stands for textile cotton extended 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.720 codes and then over in the engineering team they were kind of missing out so we 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.259 ended up splurging and buying these plastic Pantone chips which is what 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:37.020 we'll be checking out today these are a little more difficult to put 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.259 together than I had expected but I guess that that's maybe just user error 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 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:51.960 the coated ones uh those can cost upwards of 400 USD so obviously all of 00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:57.060 the Pantone products are expensive but to be fair Pantone has to make sure that 00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.320 all of the colors come out exactly how they are supposed to for these booklets 00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:05.399 in particular Pantone recommends that you switch it out every 12 to 18 months 00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:11.580 just because the colors will fade eventually with them rubbing around or 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.260 getting Sun bleached whereas these 00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:17.520 plastic chips obviously since they're solid color 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 00:02:20.459 --> 00:02:26.760 bottom there we go I will say as a designer I 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.200 wholeheartedly appreciate everything Pantone designs and makes because it 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 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:42.840 and a beauty ring and we had gone through like 20 samples trying to 00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.500 perfect the color of the beauty ring um and we had gotten to the point where 00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:51.660 we were finally fed up we were sending them the coated solid coated Pantone 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 00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:59.580 finally decided you know what we're spending so much money in samples that 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.959 we might as well just splurge and get the Pantone chip so that we can make 00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:08.340 sure that our samples are correct the first time around now one thing I do 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.319 really want to talk about is Pantone had launched these color plastic chip books 00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:17.340 a while back I believe it was their first ones that they ever launched but 00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:20.819 even Pantone says that those are supposed to be used as inspiration 00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:27.480 instead of actually being used as reference going with these which are 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:28.920 actual Pantone formulated chips these 00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:33.360 were the right way to go even though they cost a couple more thousand dollars 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.860 than the books themselves hey I heard you want to be part of this video 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:41.879 what do you think you spent uh ten thousand dollars on these bad boys no I 00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:46.280 don't want to talk about that part actually I do want to talk about that 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.280 part why 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:54.299 we need them to make sure oh okay well 00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:57.840 would you prefer that we get hundreds of different samples trying to get the 00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:02.340 right color or we get the right color first time around because we have a chip 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 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:12.299 difference between this green and this green like look at them no I want you to 00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:17.280 look at them okay Miss color okay okay 00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:19.079 here we go we got a okay we got B okay 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.280 okay now I'm gonna shuffle them 00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:28.620 oh no which one was this that was 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 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:38.220 okay no wait I don't even know but are different you 00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:43.620 can't tell me those look the same looking I'm completely different a 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:50.120 completely different depends on the angle of the light hitting them but sure 00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:53.100 how are these even labeled oh oh 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 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 00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:08.759 dollar chips okay you would expect them to have an index right because they've 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.979 got their numbers but obviously each Pantone is labeled differently yeah so 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 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.180 that would be stupid okay but you know what else is stupid Linus 00:05:22.380 --> 00:05:27.360 so the way that you can figure out which number 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.400 goes with which you're not going to believe this I couldn't believe this 00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:37.080 here's your index oh my God who uses these anymore I know 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 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.880 to figure it out world's most expensive wheel yeah take 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:48.419 that Lamborghini like man you know you got little kids 00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:51.139 it's like what's your favorite color Sarah's gonna be like 00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:58.319 TQ 2416c no I will say my favorite Pantone 00:05:55.979 --> 00:06:03.900 code for a while was 14.95 which is a beautiful like lemony orange color 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 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:14.039 still in the box orange and red because it takes 10 minutes to stack these 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.039 things what the hell bring it on over oh 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 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.819 know where it goes okay so sorry what's your favorite pants 00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:32.940 14.95 what kind of nerd has a favorite Pantone 00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:34.259 code designers actually in the comments 00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:37.740 let us know what your favorite Pantone code is I also don't really like 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:43.500 understand how it's sorted to be honest with you 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:47.340 like it's not necessarily sorted strategically it's just sorted by like 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.419 color shade I'm gonna pick this this is pretty good 00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:55.020 I like 320. nice let's make a screwdriver in that color so it's not 00:06:53.340 --> 00:06:59.520 about how much you spend on samples it's about the opportunity cost of waiting 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:04.380 around for those samples every week that screwdriver gets delayed could be 00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:11.099 costing us tens of thousands of dollars so being able to just say hey 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:36.900 use the disk drive oh my God yeah what 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 00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:49.020 that was my that was my brand color in school PQ orange 00:07:46.580 --> 00:07:54.720 o21c sure okay see you later Sarah thanks oh I 00:07:51.900 --> 00:07:59.099 will oh wow okay so that's one thing I want to mention 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.840 is when these were being unboxed for the first time we definitely noticed there 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.139 were a lot of chips that fall out and for ten thousand dollars you would hope 00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:12.240 that Pantone would focus on making sure that chips stay in that way none of them 00:08:09.539 --> 00:08:18.180 get lost or confused with that said another thing is when pulling them out 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:21.720 some of them are a bit sticky 00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:24.060 and me who always has clammy hands does 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.539 have some difficulty getting them out of the slot 00:08:32.180 --> 00:08:40.620 that would have been terrible okay yeah this see how easy this pink is to like 00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:42.599 take out it just it just falls out 00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:47.940 yeah there's definitely a couple that you can see kind of Wiggle oh yeah see 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:53.640 look at over here up here they're just a little a little too loose 00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:57.720 for my liking each color tip costs twenty dollars and five cents USD to 00:08:55.980 --> 00:09:00.080 purchase and that's before tax and shipping 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:09.600 move them together forever 00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:12.540 all together there's approximately 1 755 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:18.660 chips that includes Neons pastels and metallics before we put this in let's 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:20.160 get into our sponsor vessi thanks to

at vessey.com ShortCircuit here I have an ancient artifact uh dating 00:09:51.600 --> 00:10:02.640 back to probably 2008 and then this arriving with a 2020 2000 2022 product 00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:04.079 like pardon me and they make books and 00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:08.180 they don't have the index in book form can you believe that Riley can you 00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:08.180 believe that 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:24.060 oh there it is Pantone plus Plastics standard chips collection okay okay it 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 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.200 simply move them onto my desktop and not have to worry about using the disk 00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:41.399 anymore we gotta find 1655c that is our brand color 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:47.220 of course I have to use it all the time 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:49.260 so we've got 1655c in tray 2 and it is 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:52.980 number 86. um because Pantone put the numbers on 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 00:10:55.140 --> 00:11:02.700 this form now and figure out which tray is number two which is this one 00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:05.339 and now I'll find my Pantone chip 00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:10.760 oh there goes another one no it's purple 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:15.300 this is purple Marcus what color is this 00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:17.600 no wait it is with the pink Pantone 00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:17.600 chips 00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:25.880 it does look purple i s I swear this is 00:11:23.579 --> 00:11:33.779 like a light lilac 0.0115 violet 00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:36.240 and 1.1300 white so it's definitely 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 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 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:53.940 16 55c what a beautiful color lastly 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:55.860 let's do a real test let's see if I can 00:11:53.940 --> 00:12:00.500 match a Pantone code to an actual product 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:05.100 oh my God this is my SNES controller I want to 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:11.940 color match the gray color here obviously there's only 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:14.459 1755 colors here and there are millions 00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:19.200 of color combinations so I can't guarantee that I'm gonna find an exact 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 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 00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:33.600 actually going to go to my purple selectors and my blue selectors so I'll 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:36.600 have to bring this one over as well 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.600 oh 00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:46.440 lighter but that is pretty close so I might have to 00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:51.060 go a little darker if I can another really neat thing about these Pantone 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:55.560 chips is as you can see with this Nest controller 00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:59.579 we have a more matte finish to the 00:12:55.560 --> 00:13:02.040 controller itself but the buttons have a 00:12:59.579 --> 00:13:07.680 gloss finish or a shiny finish and the Pantone chips 00:13:04.079 --> 00:13:09.959 offer a matte finish on one side and a 00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:15.420 gloss finish on the other side it's really awesome and extremely useful for 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 00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:24.360 don't see anything closer I'm gonna say maybe these two 00:13:21.959 --> 00:13:28.800 this one is closer just because it's a tad darker hopefully this unboxing was 00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:32.880 not only informative but also gave you an idea as to the kind of workflow and 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.079 things that we do over in Creator Warehouse while these Pantone chips are 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 00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:44.880 hope you enjoy it yeah sign up for the LTT screwdriver and 00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:49.620 backpack and if you want to watch another expensive unboxing go watch the 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:53.339 Porsche tycan video thanks bye
