Pantone
Hue matching system
Pantone is a standardized color-matching system used in printing, design, and manufacturing.
Each color receives a unique alphanumeric code, allowing precise reproduction across different materials and processes: The client specified Pantone 186 C for the logo.
Designers refer to colors by their Pantone numbers to ensure consistency from screen to print to product.
