You’ve probably heard the word PMS, which stands for the Pantone Matching System, a proprietary numbering system for colors used in graphics arts.
The heart of the PMS system is solid color ink printed on paper. Why? Solid colors represent the truest representation of color intent in graphic arts. Solid color printing, also known as spot or offset, is the process by which a single color is formulated and then applied through the printing process.
We have 2,678 solid colors (and counting), broken out in the following way:
Customizable, on-demand prints for your top brand colors and current palette. (Available only for core colors)

We all know that solid color printing, also known as offset or spot color printing, is accurate, but also expensive. Therefore, we developed two guides for process printing that help you achieve the closest match to PMS when budgets are tight.
This fan guide provides a side-by-side visual comparison of Pantone Spot Colors to their closest CMYK process printing match. Color Bridge is our only guide that includes CMYK, Hex, and RGB values for each PMS Color.
This guide offers 90% better Pantone Spot Color matches over CMYK by adding Orange, Green and Violet to the CYMK color gamut. Achieve more vibrant colors and closer matches to Pantone Spot Colors with the Extended Gamut Guide.
We have tools for you! Pantone Studio for iOS provides all Pantone colors at your fingertips and allows you to translate your inspiration into workable, sharable palettes on the go. PantoneLIVE Design software ensures you're working with a complete set of Pantone Colors in your Adobe applications (and when you're printing, can help you see how your PMS Colors will change when applied to 28 different print and packaging materials).
All PMS colors are available as plastic chips, enabling consistent replication of your colors across your materials. Plastic Chips are large enough to be digitally measured and they also demonstrate multiple finishes and thicknesses.
