If you use Benjamin Moore & Co paint for your projects and use AutoCAD 2004 or later, you can now download the free Benjamin Moore Color Book files for AutoCAD. These files were created by Benjamin Moore and define their paint colors. You can match your colors in AutoCAD and key them to a specific Benjamin Moore paint.

Trying to get BM color books into impressions. Suggestions?
Tony,
If you hatch an object in AutoCAD using the Benjamin Moore colorbook color definition, import that DWG into Impression, the color RGB will be retained in the fill on the object in Impression. You could then save the color in styles for future use.

Hello Shaan,
Is there any way to read the encrypted Benjamin Moore ACB files…?
I would like to do this to automate the process of creating materials in Revit… refer my free “paint” tool for Revit @ http://www.revittv.com
