Pantone LLC (stylized as PANTONE) is an American limited liability company headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey,^[1] and 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.
