What Are Pantone Colors?
Pantone colors are a standardized color matching system used worldwide in printing, design, and manufacturing. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) assigns each color a unique code, ensuring consistent color reproduction across different materials and industries.
Why Use Pantone Colors?
✅ Color Consistency – Ensures colors look the same across different materials (paper, fabric, metal, plastic, etc.).
✅ Global Standard – Used by brands, designers, and manufacturers worldwide.
✅ Wide Range – Includes standard colors, metallics, fluorescents, and pastels.
✅ Precise Color Matching – Avoids color variations between different printers or production methods.
Types of Pantone Colors:
1️⃣ Pantone Solid Colors – Standard spot colors (e.g., Pantone 286 C for blue).
2️⃣ Pantone Metallics – Simulate metal effects (e.g., Pantone 877 C for silver).
3️⃣ Pantone Fluorescents & Pastels – Bright and soft color options.
4️⃣ Pantone CMYK (Process Colors) – Used for full-color printing instead of spot colors.
Where Are Pantone Colors Used?
- Printing & Branding – Logos, packaging, and marketing materials.
- Manufacturing – Custom medals, pins, and challenge coins.
- Textiles & Fashion – Fabric dyeing and apparel production.
- Industrial Design – Automotive, plastic molding, and signage.
