Pantone
Pantone is a globally recognized color matching system widely utilized in various industries, including printing, fashion, and product design. Established in 1963, Pantone introduced a universal language for color communication, ensuring that colors remain consistent across different materials and surfaces. The system assigns unique numerical codes to over 1,000 shades, known as Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors. This precision allows designers and manufacturers to reproduce exact colors, maintaining brand integrity and meeting specific design requirements. Pantone’s influence extends beyond print to digital design and even seasonal fashion forecasts, making it an essential tool for professionals seeking accuracy in color reproduction. The annual Pantone Color of the Year also guides trends in design and consumer products globally.
