What it is
Pantone is a standardised colour system that lets you specify a colour by code rather than description. It is the common language for print, packaging, and many product finishes.
Limits to know
The same Pantone code renders differently on coated paper, fabric, and moulded plastic. For critical brand colours, approve physical samples in the actual material — the code gets you close; the sample gets you agreement.
