ABOUT PANTONE
In 1963, Lawrence Herbert, Pantone’s founder, created an innovative system of identifying, matching and communicating colours to solve problems associated with producing accurate colour matches in the graphic arts community. His insight that the spectrum is seen and interpreted differently by each individual led to the innovation of the Pantone Matching System®, a book of standardised colour in fan format.

Pantone Inc. is now the world-renowned authority on colour and provider of colour systems for the selection and accurate communication of colour across a wide variety of industries. The Pantone® name is known worldwide as the standard language for colour communication.
