About This Tool
This tool maps RGB input to the closest Pantone swatch using a perceptual distance model. It is designed for designers, brand teams, and print professionals who work with RGB assets and need Pantone references.
Conceptually, it converts RGB (sRGB, D65) to CIELAB, then measures Delta E2000 against a predefined Pantone palette to identify the best matching swatch. The result includes the Pantone code, its hex equivalent, and the perceived difference.
The system supports both direct RGB values and hex input, and can target different Pantone palettes (coated or uncoated) for more precise matching in different media.
This approach helps designers ensure color consistency across digital design, print proofs, and brand guidelines, while avoiding rough color guesses. It is not a guaranteed license-matched Pantone, but a practical mapping tool.
How to Use
1. Provide inputs: enter Red, Green, Blue (0–255) or Hex value.
2. Run calculation: maps to nearest Pantone swatch using perceptual distance.
3. Review outputs: Pantone code, swatch hex, and Delta E value.
4. Use outputs: copy the Pantone code for print specs or brand guidelines.
5. If no exact match, review the closest options and tolerances.
