The PANTONE color matching system is a standard color system within the
graphic arts and prepress industries. It specifies hundreds of spot colors,
each identified with a unique number. Each PANTONE color is simulated on
the printer by printing an appropriate combination of process (CMYK)
colors. The ability to simulate PANTONE colors is a basic form of color
management.
You can choose PANTONE colors in any application that allows you to
define colors as named PANTONE colors—and use the pages to see how
they will be printed on your particular printer.
For more information about color management using the PANTONE Coated
Color Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in

and Utilities Reference Guide.
