Pantone to RGB Approximator

Look up approximate RGB values for common Pantone spot colors

Ad placeholder (leaderboard)

Pantone spot colors are defined as physical ink mixes for print, so converting one to RGB is always an approximation. This tool provides widely used screen approximations for popular Pantone colors so you can preview them in digital mockups.

How it works

The tool holds a local table mapping Pantone references to approximate sRGB values. As you type a number or name, it filters that table and renders each match with its hex code, RGB triplet, and a swatch. Because Pantone is a print system, the conversion is one-way and inherently inexact: the ink gamut and the screen gamut do not overlap perfectly.

Notes and limits

Use these values for web previews, digital comps, and mockups only. For any printed deliverable, specify the Pantone number to your printer and confirm against a physical guide, since paper stock, coating, and lighting all shift the perceived color. The approximations here target the coated (C) appearance, the most commonly quoted variant.
