What Is a Pantone to Hex?

Pantone is a proprietary spot-ink system used in print and packaging, with codes like PMS 286 C (deep blue) or Rhodamine Red C identifying specific physical ink mixes measured under controlled D50 lighting. There is no exact mathematical mapping from Pantone to sRGB — the two systems describe fundamentally different physical phenomena (reflective ink versus emissive pixels) and many Pantones sit outside the sRGB gamut entirely.

Disclaimer: this tool ships approximate sRGB equivalents for 80+ of the most-referenced PMS codes. It is not a licensed Pantone product, the values are not endorsed by Pantone LLC, and you should never substitute these hex codes for an official Pantone chip when reproducing a brand mark in print. Use them only as a screen reference.

Useful for marketing teams approximating a print brand color in web copy, or for designers cross-referencing a packaging spec while building a landing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the conversion?
These are approximate sRGB equivalents of the Pantone Solid Coated swatches. Use them as a starting point for digital design; never as a substitute for an official Pantone chip when matching a printed brand.
Why are Pantone values approximate?
Pantone is a proprietary spot-ink system measured under specific conditions. There is no perfect mathematical mapping to sRGB — and Pantone itself publishes different hex values for coated vs uncoated stocks.
Why aren't all Pantone codes included?
Pantone has thousands of codes and the values are proprietary. This tool includes 80+ of the most-referenced PMS codes — enough for most brand-color lookups.
