Pantone

Pantone refers to the Pantone Matching System (PMS), a standardized color reproduction system used primarily in printing, graphic design, fashion, product design, and manufacturing. Developed by Pantone Inc., this system allows designers and printers to ensure color consistency across different materials and production processes.

Each Pantone color is identified by a unique code (e.g., PMS 186 C), where:

• The number represents the specific color.
• The letter suffix (like C for coated, U for uncoated, or M for matte) indicates the type of paper or material the color is intended for.

Pantone is widely used in branding and logo design to maintain color accuracy across various platforms and media.
