Pantone is a corporation, its headquartered is in New Jersey US. The company is best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS). This is a colour space used in a variety of industries, mainly printing. Although sometimes in the manufacture of coloured paint, fabric, and plastics. Pantone began as the commercial printing company of M & J Levine Advertising in the 1950s in New York City. The company's main products are the Pantone Guides, which consist of a large number of small thin card board sheets, printed on one side with swatches and then put into a small "fan deck". For example a page may contain a range of tints of a specific blue colour. These swatches are the industry standard and a crucial part to many designers, in particular graphic design due to its strong link with print. In October 2007, x-rite, a supplier of colour software, purchased Pantone Inc. for $180 million.
