Pantone Color Lookup

Every color in the table is compared to your input using Delta E, a perceptual distance measured in Lab color space. It ranks matches by how different they look to human eyes, which beats comparing raw RGB numbers channel by channel.

No, it's an independent reference built on published hex approximations of popular Solid Coated colors. For contracts, packaging, or anything legally brand-sensitive, confirm the final choice against a physical Pantone guide under proper lighting.

You get that entry back as a perfect match. Paste #C8102E and the card returns Pantone 186 C, the classic brand red, because the hex equals the published approximation exactly. Near misses return the smallest Delta E instead.

Pantone spot colors are premixed physical inks, some outside the sRGB gamut entirely, so any on-screen hex is a stand-in. The published equivalents are Pantone's own screen approximations, close enough for digital mockups but not a substitute for printed chips.

It's a curated set of 40-plus Solid Coated colors covering the codes designers reference most, from Yellow 100 C through the blues, greens, and grays. It's deliberately not the full library of thousands; the goal is fast matching against common picks.

Yes. The search box filters across code, name, and hex at once, so typing teal, 287, or #FF6900 all narrow the list. Each row keeps its own copy buttons for the code and the hex.
