Most of the apparel buyers give regard to a Pantone colour code (example PANTONE 14–4510 TPX or Aquatic) to follow for print colour matching.
The Pantone colour matching book (Cotton swatch library) is costlier and little garment export houses/manufacturers normally do not buy this color matching guide book. When needed buying house and buyer wont to send a cutting of Pantone colour chip with colour code number to their suppliers for printing and dyeing colour referene.
Merchandisers experienced that it's difficult to share the tiny cutting of Pantone chip with printers/dyers when needed. At an equivalent they have to stay a part of the cutting for his or her reference. Sometimes they lost the color chip by mishandling. repeatedly you'll got to ask your buyer to send the color chip.
Now Pantone has added a tool to seek out Pantone colour online in their website. Now by entering a color code within the search box, you'll get colour standard.
So next time once you got to see what colour a Pantone code means, you'll quickly check it by using this search box. Even you'll become smart by learning colour code and identifying the color very easily.
