Prepare the color of your product to match the chip as closely as possible in terms of color difference values. If a Pantone chip is being provided as a target color, just purchase the chip (and read it in as your standard to match to. Options for Correlating Color Values to Pantoneġ. Pantone color chips work for their design purpose as a visual guide for color communication. They are reasonably reproducible such but if you measure several chips of the same color from different lots purchased in different locations across the country or even over time, the color values may vary. These color standards are used extensively in the graphics arts industry but were designed as a visual guide only. The Pantone Color Chip System is manufactured by off-set litho printing. It is discontinuous and designed for visual comparison and communication only.

Pantone Color System is a less precise reporting scale, limited to the range of Pantone products. The use of L*, a*, b* color values is the best method of quantifying color at a high level of precision, covering the entire gamut of colors within human color perception. Due to insufficient demand, our EasyMatch QC software does not have a Pantone correlation built into it, but there are several workarounds.
