Pantone Color Reference Chart

Use this chart to visually identify a color you want to print in your artwork

Notes about printing color:
100% magenta ink All colors printed on our devices are composed of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks, and in some cases also a light
100% cyan ink Cyan and light Magenta (CMYK). If your artwork is created in the Red, Blue & Green (RGB) color spectrum, we must then

convert it to our working color space of CMYK. Sometimes there can be a change in your original color which we refer to
as a ‘color shift’. Therefore it is useful to use the Pantone Color Matching System (PMS) to visually pinpoint the colors you

want to print. To use this chart, just find a color that seems to match the color you want, then note the number next to the

It is also very important to understand that viewing or printing this chart on your color printer will not produce
144 151 158 1585 165 1655 172 the same results as on every other monitor or printer. It is a ‘better-than-nothing’ approach to having a reference point in
145 152 159 1595 166 1665 173 an abstract subject such as color, and being able to then communicate the idea to another person. However, nothing can
