Will this give me the exact Pantone to order?

It gives the closest match in the database. Always order a printed swatch fan or proof to verify before production printing.

What happens with very saturated or neon hex colors?

Highly saturated sRGB colors often map to Pantone fluorescent or neon codes. These require special inks and are called out separately.

Both are shown. Coated (C) colors appear brighter on coated paper; uncoated (U) appear softer on uncoated stock.

Over 1,800 PMS Solid Coated and Uncoated colors are included in the lookup.

Enter a HEX code and get the nearest Pantone PMS color name and number.
