I believe posted this the other day in the Kitten and Cat thread.
...and it is truly sick. The Internet Hate Machine™ is already working on it. She is going to need to move to a non english speaking 3rd world country to get away from that kind of publicity. Or she'll just go work for PETA.

I'm all for bow hunting... But the cat really was zero threat and could of been caught in a simple trap.

Wondering how many of my friends here happen to be print media geeks....
Pantone is a company which publishes standards for color reproduction in the physical world. Everything from magazine artwork to billboards to fabric dye to corporate logos tends to be specified in terms of Pantone colors. Pantone standards describe not only what a color should look like, but also how to produce that color, reliably and repeatably, using a variety of different mechanisms (eg: by mixing specific pigments in specific ratios.)
In other words, while a web geek might describe the blue color in the IBM logo as #6699cc, someone working at a printing shop would know it as Pantone 2718. Pantone assures that whether you're looking at that logo on a computer screen, in a magazine ad, on a golf shirt, or on the front of... whatever hardware IBM actually still manufactures these days, that it will always look the same.
Pantone is everywhere, all around us every day, in pretty much every physical object we see whose color is specified in an official standard.
From time to time, the good people at Pantone introduce new colors to their specification, either to meet some specific demand or merely because they think that a need might exist for them.
Last week, a new color was added to the Pantone catalog, the first in nearly two years, and the first ever to be specified as representing a fictional character. That color?
Minion Yellow.
So if you want to construct a Minion costume for next year's ComicCon, you can now do so definitively.

Obviously the appearance of the Minions, both in the movies and in real life, is affected by lighting. Pantone describes that the process of creating the color involved analyzing a large number of samples to find the average yellow of Minions in general, rather than matching one specific frame of one specific Minion.
Actually, wait. Did you say "orange"?
Do you perceive the Minions to be orange in color?
What color is the dress?
