Pantone

Pantone LLC is the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries. While primarily known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS) used in graphic and fashion design, the company plays a critical role in the healthcare and life sciences sectors through color standardization for medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, and diagnostics. Pantone's standards are utilized by the FDA and the American Academy of Ophthalmology to color-code ophthalmic drug classes, helping to prevent medication errors and ensure patient safety. The company also provides color management solutions for dental shade matching and consistent branding across global pharmaceutical supply chains. Formerly a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation, Pantone is now part of Veralto Corporation following a 2023 corporate spin-off.
