In 1963, Lawrence Herbert, Pantone's founder, created an innovative system for identifying, matching and communicating colors to solve the problems associated with producing accurate color matches in the graphic arts community
Pantone has since expanded its color matching system concept to other color-critical industries, including digital technology, fashion, home, plastics, architecture, contract interiors,paint and stationery.Each year, innumerable products and services are sold by Pantone and its hundreds of licenses in over 100 countries.
