Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the RGB to Pantone conversions?
While our tool provides highly accurate approximations using advanced color matching algorithms, exact matches aren't always possible due to the different color spaces used in digital (RGB) versus Pantone colors. For critical color matching, always reference physical Pantone color guides.
Which match count should I use?
Start with 5 matches for a balanced selection. Use 3 matches for precise matching, or increase to 8-15 matches when you want to explore more options or similar shades. The higher match count is particularly useful when working with brand colors that need alternatives.
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. This tool is meant as a reference to help find approximate matches.
