Pantone Solid Colours
If you work in print, packaging, or digital design, you’re in the right place!
Pantone Solid colors (sometimes call spot colors) are the truest representation of color intent in graphic arts. Solid color printing, also known as spot printing or offset printing, is the process by which a single color is formulated and then applied through print.
PMS, which stands for the Pantone Matching System, is a proprietary numbering system for colours used in graphics arts and has 3,479 pantone solid colours (and counting).
THE HEART OF THE PANTONE SYSTEM IS SOLID COLOR…
The heart of the PMS system is solid colour ink printed on paper. Why? Solid colors represent the truest representation of color intent in graphic arts.
