While most of the Pantone system colors are beyond the printed CMYK gamut, it was only in 2001 that Pantone began providing translations of their existing system with screen-based colors. Packaging metallics (previously premium metallics) are placed from 10101 to 10454 (54 of those added later, 354 altogether, 2 base colors Silver 10077 and Rose Gold 10412), while normal metallics are placed from 871 to 877 (first 7 here are base colors) and from 8001 to 8965. There are 56 fluorescents from 801 to 814 (first 7 here are base colors, so called Dayglo) and from 901 to 942. The Pantone system also later allowed for many special colors to be produced, such as metallics, fluorescents (neons) and pastels.
The original four-digit colors introduced in 1987 were remapped into three digits. Those 1114 colors included 387 colors with numbers 100 to 487 from 1975 and some lighter colors from 600 to 732 in 1991. However, about 30% of the Pantone system's 1114 spot colors (as of year 2000) cannot be simulated with CMYK but with 13 base pigments (14 including black) mixed in specified amounts, called base colors. Those that are possible to simulate through the CMYK process are labeled as such within the company's guides. A majority of the world's printed material is produced using the CMYK process, and there is a special subset of Pantone colors that can be reproduced using CMYK. The CMYK process is a method of printing color by using four inks-cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. One such use is standardizing colors in the CMYK process. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another. The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color reproduction system as of 2019 it has 2161 colors. Color variance also occurs within editions based on the paper stock used (coated, matte or uncoated), while interedition color variance occurs when there are changes to the specific paper stock used.
Pantone recommends that PMS Color Guides be purchased annually, as their inks become yellowish over time. This system has been widely adopted by graphic designers and reproduction and printing houses. The idea behind the PMS is to allow designers to "color match" specific colors when a design enters production stage, regardless of the equipment used to produce the color. For instance, a particular "page" might contain several yellows of varying tints.

The company's primary products include the Pantone Guides, which consist of a large number of small (approximately 6×2 inches or 15×5 cm) thin cardboard sheets, printed on one side with a series of related color swatches and then bound into a small "fan deck". Herbert used his chemistry knowledge to systematize and simplify the company's stock of pigments and production of colored inks by 1962, Herbert was running the ink and printing division at a profit, while the commercial-display division was US$50,000 in debt he subsequently purchased the company's technological assets from the Levine Brothers for US$50,000 (equivalent to $480,000 in 2022) and renamed them "Pantone". In 1956, its founders, both advertising executives, hired recent Hofstra University graduate Lawrence Herbert as a part-time employee. Pantone began in New Jersey in the 1950s as the commercial printing company of brothers Mervin and Jesse Levine, M & J Levine Advertising. X-Rite, a supplier of color measurement instruments and software, purchased Pantone for US$180 million in October 2007, and was itself acquired by Danaher Corporation in 2012. The company is best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), a proprietary color space used in a variety of industries, notably graphic design, fashion design, product design, printing and manufacturing and supporting the management of color from design to production, in physical and digital formats, among coated and uncoated materials, cotton, polyester, nylon and plastics. Pantone LLC (stylized as PANTONE) is an American limited liability company headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey. For other uses, see Pantone (disambiguation).
