What is a pantone color?Updated a month ago

Pantone colors are standardized color codes used in the printing, graphic

design, and fashion industries to ensure color consistency across various

materials and products. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a color system

that provides a range of specific colors that can be replicated consistently

across different printing or manufacturing processes.

Each Pantone color is

identified by a unique code that consists of a combination of numbers and

letters. For example, Pantone 19-4052 is a specific shade of blue known as

"Classic Blue". The Pantone system includes over 1,800 colors that are

carefully curated and updated each year to reflect current design trends and

consumer preferences.

By using a standardized color system, designers and

manufacturers can ensure that colors will appear the same across different

materials and products, regardless of the production process or substrate. We

provide the closest pantone color to our fabric so that you can use the

Pantone Matching System to see exactly what color fabric you're getting, even

if you don't order a swatch. (We still recommend you order a swatch, though.)
