PMS Colors
PMS Color
PMS (Pantone Matching System) or spot colors are pre-defined colors that are mixed from a specific published formula. Since PMS ink colors follow standard formulas, you are almost guaranteed to get an exact color match on your printed piece. When printed, PMS colors will match the official PMS guide and may look significantly different than they did on your screen.
For smaller quantity projects that are printed digitally, PMS colors are reproduced in full color (CMYK) and may vary in color from the PMS guide.
