Seems like a long way of saying monopolization of standards mean people get screwed on pricing.

The former president had to think twice and answer carefully when asked if anyone else could compete with Pantone.

Just here for the industry stuff.
I worked in auto parts for years and we kept 3 topics as forbidden: politics, religion and motor oil brand. The last one caused the most arguments.

Pantone was a brilliant solution to the problem of how to get reliable color production
without affordable spectrophotometry and/or colorimetry. They made ink, named some
colors, linked the names of those colors with formulas based on the inks they made- and voila-
consistent color that was as consistent as the inter-batch variations in ink production, human
acuity in weighing and mixing ink, and human capacity to assure a consistent press condition
could provide.
In the context of ubiquitously affordable spectrophotometry and colorimetry- the only thing anyone
needs today to accurately convey color specification for use in printing is a spectral reflectance distribution
or a L*a*b* coordinate. Ed Hagen's www.projectbbcg.guide discusses this all at length.
