RGB to Pantone

The majority of the images are digitally represented using the RGB Color Model. That color model is used when you need to display the object, but it does not require physical printing.

In the RGB Color Model, R represents Red, G represents Green, and B represents Blue. These are the primary colors of light, and all the other colors are developed by combining them at different intensities (0 to 255).

That color model is an additive color model, which means that the more you add, the closer it gets to white. That is why when R = 0, G = 0, and B = 0, it creates black; when R = 255, G = 255, and B = 255, it creates white.

But the problem with that color model is that if you have to create a complex color, you will get confused about the intensity of red, Green, and Blue required to generate the needed color. And what if you need to make it brighter or a little more white?

That color model is used to display images on monitors, television screens, cameras, and digital cameras.

Every year, in the early days of December, Pantone announces the color of the year. That is the most exciting movement if you are related to the person who works with the color.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is the essential color-matching system worldwide and is considered a standard in the color world. It was developed in 1963 to solve the problem of matching complex shades in the printing industry. Soon after its development, the system became essential. The easiest way to communicate the printing industry's colors is to help marketers, designers, creators, and brands work together to create an intense color appearance.

That system is highly adopted when you want color accuracy. The companies are highly adapted for their logo printing, so there is zero chance of color inaccuracy.
That system consists of 1087 solid colors. In Pantone, the majority of colors are represented by three- or four-digit numbers, followed by C (coated), U (uncoated), and M (matte). These variations help the designer check how the color looks or displays on these different kinds of papers.

The RGB Color Model is the most famous model to mix and create colors. That color model is additive and primarily used to display the digital form images, including physical printing. That color model is highly adopted in monitors, television screens, cameras, and digital cameras to display photos.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a color-matching system widely adopted by the printing industries to eliminate color inaccuracy. Companies, marketers, and designers prefer that system because they do not want a few color mistakes in logo design and printing. People can reference the Pantone color code to ensure that the colors match without any ambiguity.

RGB to PMS conversion is essential, especially when you want your logo designed in printed form. If your theme color is red, how will the person know how precisely that red color means and how dark it should be? To avoid that ambiguity, the RGB to PMS conversion is essential.

For converting the RGB color value to Pantone, perform the following steps.

• Open the RGB to Pantone Color Converter.
• Enter the Red, Green, and Blue values in their corresponding sections.
• You can also use the "color palette" for selecting the required color.
• Select any "Distance" value from (16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96) from the dropdown.
• The tool will display the results depending on your selected distance value.

Note: The distance value helps you in getting your desired color. Having the smallest distance value allows you to get the Pantone color closest to the RGB color value you selected. Suppose you do not get the desired color. You can increase the distance value to get more color options.
