It's the universal, end-to-end color-matching reference for specifying and approving spot colors, and a must-have for designers, printers, and color decision-makers working on logos, branded designs, and packaging.
- Coated & uncoated Formula Guide — two fan decks showing each color on both stocks
- 2,390 spot colors — the full Pantone Graphics System gamut, including 224 new colors
- Ink formulations — every color with its mixing recipe for accurate spot reproduction
- Portable reference — handheld fan format for inspiration, selection, and press-side matching
- Chromatic arrangement — new colors at the front, numeric index in the back for fast lookup
- Lighting indicator page — confirm lighting conditions are suitable for accurate evaluation
Tip: For CMYK conversion values, pair with the Color Bridge guides; for shareable chips, add the Solid Chips books (or get the guide and chips together in the Solid Color Set). Pantone recommends replacing guides 12–18 months after opening.
