Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing PANTONE colorist! PANTONE colorist is all about maintaining consistent
color for corporate and brand identity – from initial product concepts and design, through execution
in collateral and on the Internet.
The leader in color standards, Pantone, Inc. bridges the gap between design, print, presentations
and Web with PANTONE colorist. Now you can enjoy access to the PANTONE MATCHING
SYSTEM with optimized RGB and HTML values for use in Web pages, graphic designs,
presentations and more.
As PANTONE colorist operates at the system level, you can easily add PANTONE MATCHING
SYSTEM Colors to elements created in any software application that provides access to either the
Windows Color Picker for Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP or the Apple
Color Picker for Mac OS X 10.2 or later. These include such popular applications as Macromedia
Dreamweaver, Flash™ and Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Apple
Keynote, Microsoft FrontPage and Office v. X version of Microsoft PowerPoint.
PANTONE colorist provides the best possible representation of PANTONE Colors on monitors and
eliminates the need to tweak PANTONE Colors in order to get them to display properly and provides
PANTONE Color data for an RGB workflow.

What is PANTONE colorist?
PANTONE colorist is a tool for anyone wishing access to the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM
to obtain cross-media or cross-application color consistency, or who simply desire an expanded
palette of colors from which to choose.
Colors are selected from a scrollable palette of 1,114 solid PANTONE Colors from the coated,
uncoated and matte libraries. Selecting the sRGB working space provides the best possible repre-
sentation of PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM Colors on a monitor and is ideal for Web use. When
the ultimate destination is for print, the Adobe RGB (1998) color space is provided. For a visual ink-
on-paper reference, the PANTONE formula guide is available from Pantone or local distributors.
Any PANTONE Color can be located by entering its unique identification number. In addition to
PANTONE Color selection, for each color selected, RGB 0-100%, RGB 0-255 and HTML values
are supplied for both sRGB and Adobe 1998 color spaces. Plus, PANTONE colorist includes the
PANTONE Internet-safe Color System of the 216 PANTONE Web-safe colors.
NOTE: Due to limitations associated with the Mac OS X operating system, the specific
RGB and HTML data values are not displayed within the system picker interface.
The software also provides free access to a Web utility exclusive to PANTONE colorist users. This
simple-to-use utility contains a host of pre-defined color schemes comprised of colors from the
solid PANTONE Color library. Schemes are organized by the psychological effect they illicit, but
individual PANTONE Colors can be searched as well for determining complementary colors. Refer
to “Accessing PANTONE Color Schemes” within the Windows and Macintosh sections of this manual
for more information.
