Pantone is the name of an advanced system that standardizes color matching. Unique codes are used to identify each color shade. Colors used in a variety of industries such as digital, fashion, paint and print are referenced by the Pantone color codes. Manufacturers around the world can perfectly match any color using the Pantone system. The Pantone Formula Guide prints colors on different paper finishes and explains how to reproduce the color with ink. Fashion and home or paint and interior Pantone colors are referenced by the TPX code. TPX is an abbreviation for Pantone Textile Paper eXtended and means the color reference was printed on paper.
