Pantone

Pantone is a standardized color matching system, using the Pantone numbering system for identifying colours. Colours are identified by a 3 or 4-digit number followed by a C, U, or M. the C stands for Coated Paper, U for Uncoated Paper and M for Matte. The system was originally devised to help printers and designers specify and control colours for print. It was first developed in 1963 and consisted of colour swatches on cardboard sheets in a ‘fan deck’. The system includes 1114 colours and allows special colours such as neon and metallic to be produced
