Pantone colour guides

About this category: check before choosing

Pantone colour guides help select colours and agree the intended print appearance. Use Formula Guide for spot colours and Color Bridge for comparison with CMYK. Match Coated or Uncoated to the job’s paper.

Before buying, check the library, edition and set contents. A supplement adds new colours to an earlier guide; it does not replace the complete set. Choose by task: ink mixing, CMYK comparison or sharing samples.

More about selection and application

Choose the right Pantone tool

Formula Guide provides spot colour references and mixing formulas. Color Bridge compares Pantone colours with CMYK simulations. Solid Chips provides removable samples. A supplement adds selected new colours rather than replacing the complete library.

Coated and Uncoated refer to the reference paper. Match the guide to the intended substrate and agree viewing conditions.

Questions to consider before purchasing

Can a screen replace a physical guide?

No. Final colour approval requires the appropriate physical reference and controlled viewing conditions.

Does every Pantone product contain the same colours?

No. Check the exact library, edition and product code. Do not transfer counts between Formula Guide, Color Bridge and Metallics.
