Here's the data I got from the scan, a total of 166 color: STAC Color Chart Note the Lab values holds the true value of the color, however it is useless right now because no modern monitor/medium has the gamut wide enough to support it. I included a toned down sRGB data for practical use. Color with...

Would you mind maybe scanning and then sharing them with the community ? I'm sure there's a bunch of people who would still find it very useful. I already scanned them, that's the main reason I get the chart. The thing I found is that the cel color are mostly a lot more saturated/brighter than our ...

Update, I just received the color cards today. A total of 166 color and in good condition. The paint were sealed in like a photo paper, no wonder they can be kept for so long without degrade. Though 4 or 5 of them have their back sheet come off, I think I can glue them back together with a glue stic...

I doubt it. The layers aren't curved or distorted

This is a multi-layer cel, it has so many.

There's a lot of smudge and dirt around most of my cels on the non-painted area, rarely do I have one that looks clean. How do I clean them up?

This just popped up on YJ: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1025249626 Starting bid is at 10,000 yen. I got the card omg! Thank you for the heads up, I would had never found it out myself. I was glad that there was no crazy bidders like the last time when I was bidding on a deck of Dra...

This just popped up on YJ: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1025249626 Starting bid is at 100,000 yen. It says "Saito Tele-Anima Color" on it but the description says they used it for making Toei Animation Cels. Omg, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Bidding on it now. Ye...

The data on nekomataya's page is not accurate. The color were measured using a Noritsu CS-CM1000 colorimeter, not by things like the Pantone color guide. From my limited test comparing the color code to my cels, I believe the device was failing to capture pink color because all the codes showing up...

I found this color chart on twitter: https://twitter.com/gakujira/status/856826811233091584 which is apparently based on data from this site: http://www.nekomataya.info/teck_info/taiyo_color/TaiyoChart.html That site has RGB values if that's what you're looking for. The data on nekomataya's page is...

I just found the right person on Twitter, he pretty much has the entire color chart collection. Right now I'm asking to see if he's willing to convert them to RGB and share it with the community. This is going to be HUGE in all aspects of cel animation like color correction, cel repairing and cel dr...

As far as I know Kotori-san used to work in the industry so they have access to those items from then. They might pop up rarely on yahoo auctions though I wouldn't know what search terms to use. An American equivalent is probably the pantone color chart that is used by artists/graphic designers etc...

I came across this Japanese artist where he was repairing cel drawing, and he was using this color card to find the right paint to use. Does anyone knows where can I get one?

In my research I saw that Vuescan has the ability to calibrate a scanner with an IT8 target as well. I am curious to know if calibrating a cheaper/less accurate scanner would work well ? like, could it correct for the scanner's inability to pick up bright pinks/purples like in OP's case ? I have Vu...

No don't correct the color yourself in photoshop because you didn't even know what the actually color looks like. When cel were made, they would had a bright lamp placed right on top of the workstation while painting. So if you don't have a similar setup (which 99% of us don't) , you're not going t...
