What is PMS color and do I need it?
PMS refers to the Pantone Matching System, which is a standardized color matching system that ensures color accuracy to a physical color swatch.
PMS colors are coded through a numbering system (also known as Pantone Colors). These colors are widely used in packaging, print, fashion, graphics, and interior design when brands require a specific color output.
When opting for PMS Colors, keep in mind that additional fees apply.
