Understanding Color Matching
How Color Matching Works
Our tool uses color distance algorithms to find the closest Pantone® matches:
- Converts HEX colors to RGB color space
- Calculates color distance using advanced algorithms
- Ranks Pantone colors by similarity
- Filters results based on your distance preference
Distance Settings
Adjust the color distance to control matching precision:
- Lower values (1-3): Very close matches only
- Medium values (5-8): Balanced matching
- Higher values (13+): Wider range of options

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the color matches?
While our tool provides close approximations, exact matches aren't always possible due to the different color spaces used in digital (RGB/HEX) versus Pantone colors. For critical color matching, always refer to physical Pantone color guides.
Which distance setting should I use?
Start with a medium distance (5) for balanced results. Use lower values when you need exact matches, and higher values when you want to explore more options or similar shades.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
While our tool helps find similar Pantone colors, PANTONE® is a registered trademark. For commercial projects, ensure you have the appropriate Pantone color guides and licenses.
