RGB to Pantone

What is the difference between RGB and Pantone

The RGB color model (abbreviation of the English words Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model. Used for emitted light, i.e. when preparing screen documents. The choice of primary colors is due to the physiological features of color perception by the retina of the human eye. Any color can be represented as a combination of 3 primary colors Red, Green, Blue. These colors are called color components. The image in this model is obtained by mixing three primary colors, for example, when mixing red and blue, it turns out magenta, when mixing red and green - yellow, when mixing blue and green - cyan. And if you mix all three primary colors, you get white. The most common color space using this model is sRGB. It can represent richer colors than CMYK, so often images appear brighter and dimmer in CMYK.

Pantone is a US company that has developed a system for standardizing several thousand existing colors and their shades - the Pantone Matching System, or PMS.

In addition, PMS suggests the optimal combination of shades. Pantone can be called the universal language of color.
