◊ DID YOU MEAN PANTONE?
Pantone
A set of standard colours for printing, each of
which is specified by a single number. You can buy a Pantone
swatch book containing samples of each colour. Some computer
graphics software allows colours to be specified as Pantone
numbers. Even though a computer {monitor} can only show an
approximation to some of the colours, the software can output
a {colour separation} for each different Pantone colour,
enabling a print shop to exactly reproduce the original
desired colour.
