Pantone’s refreshed CMYK Guide contains a whopping 2,868 CMYK colors, chromatically arranged for more intuitive color browsing and selection. Colors are marked to identify which colors have a PMS Formula Guide equivalent colors. Those colors without an asterisk are unique, meaning they don’t have a close Pantone Matching System (PMS) spot color equivalent. These colors are ideal for branding, packaging, and materials used in smaller brand campaigns where fresh, less exposed colors are desired. Each book contains thousands of unique colors with no PMS equivalent.
New CMYK Guides are now calibrated to exacting G7 specifications for more accurate, consistently achievable results in real world printing conditions. The G7 calibrated print process means tints will closely match color appearance in your CMYK Guide when proofed or printed using G7 press reference conditions.
And, with Pantone Connect, you can select, save, and share your CMYK color choices with everyone up and down your design workflow. If you’re a designer in digital, print, branding, or packaging, this guide is for you!
