I'm very interested in the Pantone Color Cue 2 (http://www.pantone.com/products/products.asp?idSubArea=0&idArea=8&idProduct=151&idArticleType_Products=0). However my primary interest isn't reading the nearest Pantone color of an object but rather its true RGB or LAB color value. Matching to a PMS color is nice but the PMS color gamut isn't all that wide. Hey, isn't there usually a Link button available below the text window as I'm writing this? Anyhow..
I primarily design sets for concert tours so I might use it to: Read the colors of a backdrop or drape and give the RGB color to the video content folks to match, read the color of a material and tell someone 'it's close to Pantone XXYZ' instead of 'Chinese Red', Find out what the true color of that wall in the photo in Elle Decor is, and so on.
The literature says the Color Cue can convert the PMS color to its equivalent in a slew of other colorspaces but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll give you a reading outside of the Pantone context. I'd RTFM if I could find one but my Goolge-Fu is failing me.
Has anybody out there tried this thing? Do you like it? Is there a similar device I should be looking at?
I wonder how big the sample area is. Does it read a pipoint area or average over xx milimeters? i.e if I'm trying to get a color from a magazine page will it give the color I want or just the color of a particular ink dot? So many questions!

Not used it. I would think it would be easier just to carry a simpleformula guide around.

I pre-ordered the Color Cue 2 last October. It's been delayed by Pantone since then, and I as-of-yet haven't recieved it. I'm just sort of waiting it out, but as far as I'm aware it's not out yet.

Yep. Just carry a formula guide. You want to work in Pantone colours because RGB isn't exact -- eg Metafilter looks different on different monitors because of gamma changes and all sorts of other variations. But with proper calibration, Pantone XXXX will look like Pantone XXXX everywhere.

I hankered after one of these for a while, but then my design company took on a new partner who had used one of these (v.1) in her last job. Her opinion: 'Utter shite'. Like any photometer, the reading it gives depends on many variables (ambient light, type of substrate, reflective properties of said substrate, whether pixies are messing with your head etc.), and would often give two different values for the same colour if the readings were taken one directly after the other. Of course, YMMV, and this *isn't* my direct experience..
Trying to match colours with a PMS formula guide is a PITA, but it's pretty much the tried and trusted method.
In short then, what Thorzdad and Bonaldi said.

Oh hell, I was really hoping for a magic wand of color data to carry around with me. It looks so dorky to whip out my dog-eared formula guide in front of clients. A chic gadget would be much better..but only if it works.

I spoke with a Customer Service guy at Pantone yesterday trying to find a store in Manhattan where I might check it out. Seems they're just now catching up on 2005 orders and no stores will have it for some time.
As I thought, it only reads to the nearest pantone color within xx% certainty. I did read about a work around for the v1 to get 'true' readings on a web page about pinball machine restoration.
I might take a look at it again when they're actually available. On the plus side, if you buy direct from Pantone, they offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

Pantone Color Cue 2 User Manual Pdf

A few years ago I purchased a gadget called Pantone Color Cue that I thought was pretty cool. It could scan any color and it would give me the Pantone and RGB equivalents. The problem with it was to take a reading you needed to be right on the sample (fine for graphic artists but not always good for architects). Also the interface was not very good, and it was bit pricy (a discontinued version sells for around $350 and a new model goes for over $600). Cone is an iOS app by Kushagra Agarwal that does everything Color Cue did but with more style and for much less money.

What Does It Do:Cone uses your iOS device’s camera to scan anything (I mean anything and from any distance) and it gives you the equivalent Hex, RGB or Pantone color.

How Does it Work: Simply place the cursor circle over any part of the image on your iOS device and see a real-time sample of the color, a color name, and Hex color at the bottom of the screen (see Screen 1 samples). To save the color simply tap the color sample and swipe up from the bottom to see a new screen with all saved colors (see Screen 2). In the new screen you can tap on any saved color to see a third screen showing a range of lighter & darker versions of the selected color plus it’s Hex, and RGB values and the two closest Pantone colors (see Screen 3).

Conclusion: What I really love about this app is it’s simple interface (no need to read a manual here) and if my iPhone’s in my pocket the app already with me. Also I like that you can be close to the sample target or be hundreds of feet away and still capture a color.

The only drawback I see to this app is that it only works on an iOS device. The only Android app I found that seems to be similar to Cone is Color Picker by Ratonera, Inc. If anyone has used Color Picker or knows of a similar Android app, please let me know.
