Software Solutions

Seamlessly integrate Pantone Colors into your software and web platforms with the Pantone API. This digital color visualization language works in tandem with our physical color tools for graphics, print, fashion, home, and interiors. Now, it’s easier than ever to translate color between digital and physical mediums.

What does it mean when a company states they are Pantone-licensed?

Pantone licenses our proprietary color systems, like the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® (PMS), and the Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors Color System to companies for use with their digital solutions.

Pantone does not certify color output devices or software; we license companies to use of our color systems in association with their solutions. The term "certified" is often used, albeit incorrectly, when referring to a Pantone-licensed solution. PANTONE Trademarks are not registered as certification marks under the trademark laws of the United States. The following are some different terms which should be used to help you identify color output devices and software that are approved by Pantone for use by our licensees and partners to indicate that their products provide support for a variety of PANTONE Color Systems:

• "Approved by Pantone" or "Pantone-approved"
• "Licensed by Pantone" or "Pantone-licensed"
