Pantone

Published: 26/09/2023

The Pantone scale is a color identification system developed by the American company Pantone. The colors that make up the palette have been numbered, and there are as many as 1,761 of them in the basic scale. The colors created by mixing 18 pigments are not easily reproduced in other scales such as CMYK or RGB. The Pantones themselves are not mixed. They are ready-made colors that must look like they do in the template.

Pantone colors are used most often when printing designs that contain few colors. On cotton bags they are used when screen printing. They are created by mixing inks when printing is applied to the surface as is done with the CMYK scale. This is especially helpful for logos where the color must always look the same. For example, brands such as Milka and Orange have patented color as a trademark, effectively cementing the company's image among consumers.

 

 

It is worth noting that what we see in the computer monitor may differ slightly from what we see on the print. This should be kept in mind mainly when selecting Pantone colors in a graphics program. This is because a completely different rule applies here than in the case of RGB or CMYK. The appropriate Pantone color is selected not on the basis of optics, but using a physically printed, certified Pantone color chart.

A Pantone color chart, commonly referred to as a "Pantone color chart," is an international color system used in printing and computer design. Using pattern books, you can get the same color every time. When choosing a printing color, it is worth using a Pantone color chart, because it is a universal color base with which all professional printers or advertising agencies have experience. Stencils are readily available, but they need to be replaced from time to time. Especially if they are used intensively, because the colors on the stencils simply wear out over time.
