What is Pantone?
Developed in the 1960s, the unique coding scheme lets you easily find a specific shade. Pantone is a universally recognised colour system that’s used worldwide by designers, architects, hobbyists and for industrial applications.
This system of colour codes communicates colour specifications for colours, brands and crafts with shades that stay consistent across multiple materials.
What are Pantone colours used for?
The Pantone system is widely used across industries, but for our customers, it’s most relevant for hobbies, upcycling, furniture repair, and similar creative projects.
Whether you’re a major brand or a small business, the Pantone colour system offers some fantastic benefits.
- The right shade every time: Colour interpretations can vary. But when you specify a Pantone shade, you’ll get precisely the Scarlet or Navy you require, on every production run or hand-finished piece.
- Consistent results across different materials: Colours can look different depending on the surface or material they are painted on. Pantone’s colour matching system ensures a consistent look across all materials.
- Graphics, textiles, coatings, and pigments: Pantone has two colour matching systems, one for graphic design (PMS), and one for fashion, home, and interiors (FHI). Pantone doesn’t make paint, but we can use your Pantone colour codes to custom-mix high-quality paints for commercial and domestic use.

FAQs
What is the difference between Pantone and other colour systems?
Unlike RGB or CMYK systems, the Pantone Matching System assigns unique codes to spot-mixed colours that stay consistent across different materials.
Can I match Pantone colours to specific surfaces or materials?
If you need consistency across various materials and printing methods, Pantone is a good choice.
Can I use Pantone paint colours for touch ups?
Unfortunately, Pantone colours can’t be used as an automotive touch up application. The reason is that Pantone colour codes lack sufficient information about gloss levels, making it difficult to achieve a perfect result. Instead, use our paint code finder to match your OEM automotive paint for a great finish.
