Please
Note:
Colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
The colors in this chart are a close approximation but
may be slightly different on the actual printed item. Colors
marked with * are all mixed by our ink department and will
be a close match to the indicated Pantone colors. Colors
without * are “off the shelf” stock colors from our ink
vendors and the PMS number listed is the closest possible
match. Colors marked with + are not useable on dark shirts
or white base inks, these colors should only be used on light shirts.
Colors in a typical PMS book are designed for and printed
by offset printers (paper printing) who put very thin layers
of transparent ink onto smooth finished papers. This
differs from screen-printing, since we apply thick layers of
opaque inks onto loops of porous fabric. This can make it
very difficult to perfectly match PMS colors. We get the ink
colors as close as possible, within a half shade lighter or
darker. Lighting conditions, faded and out of date PMS
books or PMS book press runs are all factors to consider
when properly viewing color. Ideally, the result is a
reasonably pleasing color that is as accurate as it can be
to the PMS color you have requested within the limitations
of screen printing. PANTONE Solid Coated Colors
