Pantone is for print. RGB is for screens. Screens "paint" with light. Printing "paints" with... well paint. Pigments. Light makes things lighter (addetive). Your black screen lights up making up a picture. Printing makes white paper darker by putting paint on it (subtractive). It's a fundamental difference. There's a lot of science that goes into this, but that's the most ELI5 as I can make it. Permalink 1
