Pantone is a standardized color matching system used in printing, manufacturing, and design. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) provides a universal language for color communication, ensuring consistent color reproduction across different materials and processes.
Color System
Pantone colors are identified by unique numbers or names (e.g., PANTONE 300 C). Each Pantone color has a specific formula for mixing inks, ensuring the same color appearance regardless of where it's printed.
Common Uses

Importance
Pantone colors ensure brand consistency across different media. When a company specifies a Pantone color for their logo, it will look the same whether printed on paper, fabric, plastic, or any other material.
