Naming Pantone colors is verging on pointless, unless each one of us has a
well-calibrated monitor, or a well-cared-for Pantone book. There's too
much variation between displays and display adaptors without calibration
to make Pantone much more effective than descriptions like "oh, no, a bit
redder than that, and maybe with less grey in it".
That said, they look okay to me. I'd possibly prefer something closer to
heraldic gold, maybe is something in the 107/108 range instead of 123,
which seems a bit orange. It's not a big enough deal for me to draw a line
in the sand, though. 527 is nice. Why not straight-up, no messin' around,
Pantone Black for the Black? It's the utter defintion of 100%
pigmentation, as a Black should be, IMO.
