What is the Pantone color directory?
The Pantone color directory is a searchable reference for PMS colors, their approximate digital values, and the practical data needed to use them across design and print workflows. PantoneTools currently lists 276 curated coated and uncoated references with HEX, RGB, CMYK, HSL, CIE Lab, WCAG contrast checks, related palettes, and copy-ready CSS or design-token exports. Use it when you need to identify a PMS color, compare a Pantone code with its screen approximation, or move a palette between Figma, CSS, Tailwind, and printer conversations. These values are independent sRGB approximations, not licensed official Pantone specifications. For brand-critical production, confirm the final color against a current physical Pantone guide under standard viewing light and request a printer proof before approval.

Approximate PMS equivalents for the colors people search most. Brands often use proprietary recipes and these are starting points, not licensed brand-color assertions.
| Color | HEX | Pantone | Known brand use | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pantone 186 C | Coca-Cola, Target, Levi's | Iconic Western brand red. Reproduces cleanly across coated stocks. | ||
| Pantone 165 C | Nickelodeon, Harley-Davidson (orange marks) | Hard to hit exactly in CMYK — orange ink or PMS spot recommended. | ||
| Pantone 286 C | Samsung, Ford, Visa | Trust-blue. Outside sRGB gamut — proof on press before sign-off. | ||
| Pantone 7549 C | McDonald's golden arches | Yellow + warm undertone. Critical to match against printed packaging. | ||
| Pantone 354 C | Spotify, Heineken (alt brand greens) | Pure green — close in process CMYK, but only PMS gives exact match. | ||
| Pantone 2685 C | Twitch (purple), Yahoo (historical) | Deep violet. Outside sRGB on most monitors. |

CHow to use this directory
Find a Pantone
Browse by family or jump straight to a brand color above. Each detail page lists HEX, RGB, CMYK, Lab, HSL, plus accessibility ratios and copy-ready exports.
Convert in either direction
Start from any value — use the HEX → Pantone or CMYK → Pantone converter — and we surface the closest PMS by ΔE.
Export for production
Every color detail page exports CSS variables, Tailwind config, and W3C design tokens — drop straight into Figma Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, or your codebase.
