Lawrence Herbert joined the company in 1956 and noticed how difficult it was to identify <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.onlinelogomaker.com\/how-to-create-a-credible-logo-colors\/1544\" rel=\"nofollow\">exact colors<\/a> from names. So, in 1962 he bought Pantone and launched the first PMS guide in 1963 with only 10 colors to try to minimize the errors and number of variables happening in the printing process. Creating an objective, numeric language means that any printer anywhere in the world can accurately produce this color.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1272\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.onlinelogomaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pantone-fashion-color-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"pantone-fashion-color\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pantone-fashion-color-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pantone-fashion-color-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pantone-fashion-color-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.onlinelogomaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pantone-fashion-color-600x402.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u00a0is more than a color language for designers\u2014it\u2019s grown into a global design force. And this is not because it was the first color-standards language. But it\u2019s undoubtedly the best-known. Nowadays it is not always necessary to design a logo\u00a0with Pantone colors or assigned PMS numbers. But it still has its glamour, specially when it comes to trends and fashion, as every December, they announce \u201cThe Color\u201d of the following year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t get too excited, you have to pay to access this PMS guide and use its colors. So don\u2019t worry! You don\u2019t have to use it for your company or brand. It\u2019s just good for you to be aware of and know what all this fuzz is about. In the end it\u2019s just a trend, nobody is going to ask if you are using Pantone or <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.onlinelogomaker.com\/design-tips-for-non-designers\/1407\" rel=\"nofollow\">CMYK, RGB<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As their own website explains, Pantone is a color Matching System (PMS for short) that uses a unique code scheme.
