The Pantone color system is a numbering system used to identify and match colors. Pantone colors are standardized colors that are able to be referenced and replicated exactly. Using Pantone colors allows designers, manufacturers and printers to reference specific Pantone colors. This allows them to ensure consistent color matching and precision across all printed collateral.

There are many Pantone palettes for use in a variety of specific industries (e.g. Pantone Process Palette, Pantone Textile Palette and Pantone Plastics Palette) containing nearly 10,000 colors. The most commonly referenced Pantone palette is the Pantone Solids Palette, which contains 1,114 colors.
