Pantone



Founded by Lawrence Herbert is 1963, Panton was the first ever company to introduce a standardised colour coding system known as PMS (Pantone Matching System). The idea behind PMS allowed designers to match their use of colours to a specific shade when a design entered it's production stage, this meant that the colour used for the design would be identically replicated in the printing process. One way in which he colours are standardized is by using the CMYK (the process of printing colour which is processed by using just four inks - cyan, magenta, yellow and black), as there is a special subset of Pantone colours that can be reproduced by using CMYK.
