Pantone is a colour matching system used in the printing industry to standardise colours and ensure consistency across different printing processes and materials. PMS, or Pantone Matching System, is a proprietary system that assigns a unique number to each colour to allow printers and designers to match colours precisely across different media and materials. The Pantone system includes over 1,000 colours and provides precise colour swatches and formulas that can be used to create ink or paint formulations. The Pantone system is widely used in the printing and design industries, as well as in product manufacturing and other applications where colour accuracy is important.
