Look up any Pantone solid-coated code to read its HEX, RGB and CMYK values, or enter a HEX/RGB color and instantly find the nearest Pantone match — all in your browser.

Type a Pantone code or name — matches appear as you type.

No Pantone color matches that search.

Nearest Pantone matches
Closest Pantone solid-coated colors, ranked by perceptual distance.

A handy reference, not a substitute for physical Pantone guides — on-screen colors are sRGB approximations and vary by display. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.


About Pantone Color Matcher

The Pantone Color Matcher bridges Pantone codes and digital color values in both directions. In lookup mode, type a Pantone solid-coated code or name — like "185 C" or "Reflex Blue" — and read its HEX, RGB and CMYK equivalents. In nearest mode, enter any HEX or RGB color and get the closest Pantone matches, ranked.

Ranking uses a CIE-Lab deltaE distance, a perceptual metric that reflects how different two colors actually look, and each match carries a plain-language difference grade from "Exact match" to "Approximate". Search results appear as you type, and every value has its own copy button.

The tool runs entirely in your browser from a bundled dataset — no uploads, no account, no cost. Keep in mind that on-screen Pantone values are sRGB approximations that vary by display: it is a fast reference for design and pre-press work, not a replacement for a physical Pantone guide.

How to use Pantone Color Matcher

  1. Choose a mode: "Pantone → color" to look up a code, or "Color → Pantone" to find the nearest match.
  2. In lookup mode, type a Pantone code or name and pick a result to see its HEX, RGB and CMYK values.
  3. In nearest mode, enter a HEX or rgb() value or use the color picker.
  4. Review the ranked matches and their difference grades.
  5. Copy any value you need with its copy button.

Frequently asked questions

Switch to "Color → Pantone" mode, type or pick your HEX color, and the tool lists the closest Pantone solid-coated colors ranked by perceptual distance, with the best match highlighted and a grade showing how close it really is.

No, it is an independent reference built on published sRGB approximations of the Pantone solid-coated library. For color-critical production work, always confirm the final choice against a current physical Pantone guide under proper lighting.

Screens render approximations in sRGB, and every display has its own calibration, brightness and color gamut. Pantone colors are defined as physical inks, so no on-screen preview is authoritative — which is why physical swatch guides remain the standard for print.

Yes. The lookup and nearest-match search run entirely in your browser against a bundled dataset, so there is no cost, no sign-up and nothing uploaded.

DeltaE measures perceptual color difference in the CIE-Lab space. "Exact match" means the values coincide, "Very close" is a difference most people cannot see, while "Approximate" means the nearest Pantone is noticeably different from your input color.

The solid-coated library — the codes ending in "C" that are the most common reference for brand and print work. Codes from other systems, such as textile TPX/TCX references, may not be found in lookup mode.
