The document summarizes a presentation about using PantoneLIVE, a cloud-based tool from X-Rite PANTONE, to help designers, brands, and others more accurately specify, communicate, and reproduce colors throughout the design and production process. Some key points covered include:
- PantoneLIVE allows users to preview how colors will look when printed or produced on different substrates.
- It provides a shared digital library of brand colors that designers and others in the supply chain can access.
- Using PantoneLIVE can reduce costs from rework by avoiding color mismatches and speeding up approvals through more accurate early-stage color previews.

13. PANTONE Is the language of color
Founded in 1963, Pantone began as a color innovator in the
printing industry with the first edition of the PANTONE
MATCHING SYSTEM® - a color language guide consisting
of ten classic shades.
With the introduction of this first standardized palette of
colors, Pantone completely revolutionized the world of color
by giving printers, designers, brands and clients an
objective color language by which they could communicate
their color choices around the globe.
