What are Spot Colors?
Spot colors, also called solid colors, are produced without using screens or dots, a hallmark of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM. Each spot color in this system is crafted from a unique formula using a palette of 14 basic colors. While mixing paints to achieve different hues might remind you of childhood art projects, creating a PANTONE Spot color demands a higher level of accuracy.
This precision begins with licensed printing ink manufacturers, who mix PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM colors. These manufacturers must annually submit samples of the 14 basic colors to Pantone for approval to maintain their license. Printers can either order the colors by number or mix them using the ink mixing formula provided in a PANTONE formula guide. A PANTONE Chip accompanies the ink and helps ensure the printer achieves the desired color for their client.
Color Numbers and Paper Stock
Each color in the PANTONE System has a unique identifier with a suffix: C for Coated paper, U for Uncoated paper, and M for Matte paper. Metallic and pastel colors are also part of this system and are created without screens. Because of the base colors' gamut, some spot colors appear cleaner and more vibrant than those produced using a four-color process. Spot colors are typically utilized in corporate logos and identity programs, as well as in one, two, or three-color projects.
Who is Pantone?
Pantone, as known today, was established in 1962 when Lawrence Herbert acquired a then small company that produced color cards for cosmetics. Herbert, who had been with the company since 1956, shifted its focus and developed the first color matching system in 1963. He continues to lead the company as CEO, Chairman, and President.
