How to Mix Pantone Colors
- 1). Select a Pantone color from the Pantone/PMS color swatches. Pantone supplies sample books of Pantone colors to approved vendors.
- 2). Mix the colors by the percentages shown on a specific Pantone color swatch.
- 3). Test color purity by printing a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) copy for comparison.
- 4). Run the commercial print job. On a 4-color project, one or two Pantone colors will be specified as fifth and sixth colors, respectively. Pantone color can also be specified as a second color in a 2-color print job.
