Pantone

Pantone is the American colour company that in 1963 introduced the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM, a tool for selecting and reproducing consistent colour anywhere in the world. Its numbering system and chip format became the brand’s signature, and the colour language now covers more than 10,000 standards across printing, textiles, plastics, pigments and coatings.

It serves colour-conscious industries – textiles, apparel, beauty, interiors, architecture and industrial design – with standards available physically and digitally, supported by workflow tools such as PantoneLIVE. The company also runs the Pantone Color Institute, a consulting service forecasting colour trends, and Pantone Lifestyle, its licensing division for home furnishings, apparel and travel. Pantone LLC is based in Carlstadt, New Jersey, and belongs to X-Rite.
