- Learn about Pantone colors and how to use them
Check out my Photoshop and Illustrator kits! 🦄 bit.ly/3aWqZpF
This video covers the basics of what are Pantone colors and why are they important. To sum it up as simply as possible Pantone colors are an excellent way to ensure that colors of your designs and illustrations are printed as accurately as possible once they go out to print. When both sides (designer and printer) reference the Pantone colors instead of their screens, it eliminates the issue of screen color variance which can be significant.
This video also covers how to pull up and use different Pantone swatches inside Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign.

I know Photoshop and Illustrator, but since I don't work with Pantone colors, I want to at least understand what they are and how they work.
I'll say you have done an excellent instruction job for someone who just walked in off the street.
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Best explanation of what Pantones are I've found so far.
Appreciate it! I'm surprised so many people have watched a video about Pantone colors. :D
Well, for beginners it’s kind of a mystery. Thanks again for the clear explanation.
This is one of the most complete videos about someone explaining the system that i have seen on UA-cam. Seriously thank you so much for taking the time to do it, you've helped me heaps! - From one thankful designer haha
thank you Matt for explaining coated vs uncoated paper. I see a lot of reference to this but you're the first to tell us the difference.
Great video man, I've been trying to better understand the relationship between display and printed colours recently as I sometimes get stuff printed for work. Despite discussing things with the printing company ahead of time, sometimes the colours have been way off! This has really helped clarify a few things for me, thanks so much - liked and subbed!
Can always use color matching to change the cmyk colors to Pantone as well. I do this regularly at work (work in print)
Thank you so much for explaining Pantone Colors, especially that I don't have to use that system unless I use a printer. I see where they give a language to color.
Very helpful video! I finally understood what Pantone colors are. Thank you so much!!! :)
So thorough, thank you for this video!! So once you have the Pantone colours selected and ready to go, to send to a client, you just export the design like normal into the file formats that you want, ex. PNG, PDF, etc. ?
Also, another method to convert colours to Pantone is go to Edit->Edit Colours-> Recolour Artwork->Click colour books icon, and then select the Pantone colour, correct?
Thank you so much!
thanks a lot mate ... great video
Thank you so much for clear instruction, this is very very helpful.
Etsy sellers are offering pantone charts for dirt cheap.
so when choosing an rgb colour for printing will it not come out the same? how do i convert that rgb to a pantone?
Hello, Can You Please help? I need to print gold elements and font on a black matte paper. Could you please tell me what color code is gold in Pantone? Thank you
thank you matt, very informative video...
Plz make a video on using pantons colors
color bridge is also typically solid coated and uncoated but with hexcode and cmyk values, is it?
So color bridge is better than solid color???
I would ask the printer which one they prefer, and then refer to their color books to ensure the colors they select are exactly what you're looking for.
Great Video! More detailed and easy to understand... Subscribed :)
Thanks for the knowledge bro!
Thank you very much
Thanks for your teaching time. Very helpfull. Have a great day =D
i have question .......
can i use panton color as gradient ?
Did you explain process versus spot? I don't seem to recall it.
Why photoshop does not have SEARCH window to search for specific pantone?? This is so dumb!
I’m making art to be finally printed in Pantone, but the place where I print tests only prints in cmyk. Should I use solid coated or color bridge coated?
You light up my mind! Thank you:)
But if I'd like to use on pin(enamel pin) what's Pantone color type I should choose to compare with? There're something like coated, uncoated,
Once again Thank you for a great explanation!
Probably coated.
Thank you!
Great video! i don't think it was really long.. the topic is quite technical, it would be impossible to explain it with a video under minutes long. I actually think that reducing the speed of the voice of 10/15% it would help people to follow the tutorial better, well this is my 2 cents!)
Great video.
great video!
Nice !
awesome
What is the difference in use between coated and uncoated ?
Is their only one difference in use ?
It has to do with the paper type the inks are printed on, coated or uncoated paper. It can give you a much wider range of potential colors to call out, though.
Matt Borchert ok thank you soo much 👍🏻
As human eyes age, the colors can shift a bit too - so be sure to verify your eyes to someone else's eyes of a different age too, to get agreement. :-)
Thanks! one question: How do I convert a normal colour into Pantone in all 3 software?
You need to buy Pantone books to properly find the color that matches your screen. The built in Pantone colors in Photoshop or Illustrator are NOT color accurate.
U woukd select the color u want to change, make sure that layer is highlighted and then change color that u selected from pantone swatch
I still don't get it. What's wrong with referencing RGB colors?
If you're referencing RGB colors to get something printed, the way those colors look on your screen vs. the screen of somebody else may be vastly different. Pantone books are printed to all be identical, so they serve as a consistent "truth" of color so to speak.
@@MattBorchert so lets say i make a book of 10 random rgb colors and I give a copy of that book to my friend. We can now work collaboratively and print those colors because we have a real life reference.
Pantone is just a large collection of standardized colors used for printing and what not. Every color that exists isnt part of pantone, but a lot of it is and whats important about it is that its standardized.
Is what I wrote above true?
Yep! As long as you're referencing the exact same colors, that's all that matters. So if you print your own book and have two identical copies, then you're both working from the same source of truth. All good! :)
@@MattBorchert thanks you the man!
thanks for a great video! :) regarding use of colour bridge, where does digital printing (for small scale jobs at a normal printer) fit into all this, and do you have any recommended method similar to the colour bridge, that enables us to control how colors come out at a digital printer? from what i know, Pantone and CMYK outcomes only apply for offset printing, but i'm having trouble getting colours to "come out" correctly at digital print shops for small scale jobs (because offset printers often only do jobs above a certain quantity). Any advice would be much appreciated!
+joannashi29 I would talk to the printer and see what they suggest you do. It often helps if they have a reference to look at in order to know what colors they should be attempting to match. Also if you get them working files that they can manipulate a bit (assuming they have the knowledge to do so) that can sometimes help.
It can depend greatly on the quality of the printers at the given print shop and the knowledge of the people printing. For example some cities will have small run printers that have a focus on really high quality artistic prints, and the people running the printers are very talented at making small adjustments to hit the colors that they're trying to match.
So check to see if there are printers around you that will attempt to match pantone swatches or a similar matching system, even if their printers cannot specifically hit pantone colors, they can often tweak them a bit to at least get closer. You can also give them a few different files for them to run a test print of, see which one is the closest, and then do the larger print run based on that file.
+Matt Borchert thanks so much! this helps :)
Why do my Pantone colors look different on my pc compared to my MacBook?
PCs and MACs have different ways of handling colors. That's why owning the physical Pantone book is so important. The way it looks on your screen doesn't matter, all that matters is you call out the proper color based on how it looks in the book.
Ok... so then why when I export the drawing as a jpeg in illustrator from a pc the black Pantone looks more like a charcoal gray than actual black. On my mac the black Pantone looks black
Once again it's the different color profiles of a Mac. vs Windows machine. Your best bet to make sure that the black will be as dark as possible on both is to set the hex code of the back to #000000.
they never taught in school D: wasted a lot money then they never teach this one!!!
TI brought me here😭
Couldnt you just print your own color samples? Instead of buying the book?
No, because those color samples wouldn't be properly calibrated to ensure color accuracy. Printers can have pretty wild variance in color accuracy, which is why Pantone books exist.
That being said, if you had a printer that was perfectly calibrated against a color book - then yes! :P

Pan tone, or Pant one? I know the true way to say pantone.
Deep thoughts, Josh. Deep thoughts.
