PANTONE®
PANTONE® Colors are the worldwide standards for spot color reproduction. In 2000, a major revision was
made to the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® Color guides. 147 new solid colors and seven additional metallic
colors have been added to the System to now include a total of 1,114 colors. PANTONE Color guides and chip books
are now printed on coated, uncoated, and matte paper stocks to ensure accurate visualization of the printed result and
better on-press control.
You can print a solid PANTONE Color in CMYK. To compare a solid PANTONE Color to its closest process color
match, use the PANTONE solid to process guide. The CMYK screen tint percentages are printed under each color. The
guide is now printed on a brighter coated stock and includes comparisons of the 147 new solid colors to CMYK.
PANTONE process guides let you choose from over 3,000 process combinations now printed on coated and uncoated
stocks. Displayed in chromatic order in fan-guide format, it's easy to select colors and specify CMYK screen values.
