Toon ToneColor matching tool
Enter a HEX color to find its closest Pantone Coated reference and compare the next-best matches.
Use a six-digit HEX code or choose a color visually.
Unofficial screen approximation. Pantone colors are proprietary physical standards; displays, print materials, lighting, and production processes can change the result. Confirm final production colors with an official Pantone guide or licensed product.
Matches are ranked by perceptual color distance.

HEX describes an sRGB color for screens, while Pantone references describe standardized physical inks and materials. There is no exact mathematical conversion between the two systems. This converter compares your screen color with community-estimated sRGB values for the Pantone Coated library and returns the nearest references.
Matches are ranked with the CIEDE2000 color-difference formula, which accounts for how people perceive changes in lightness, chroma, and hue. A low distance indicates a close screen approximation, but it does not replace a printed swatch or a color-managed production proof.
Enter a six-digit HEX code. The converter compares that sRGB color with community-estimated Pantone Coated screen values and ranks the closest matches using CIEDE2000 color distance.
No. HEX represents emitted screen light, while Pantone references are physical colors affected by ink, paper, material, lighting, and production. Treat the result as a shortlist and verify it with an official physical guide.
It is a CIEDE2000 Delta E value. Lower values indicate a closer perceptual screen match. The number compares estimated sRGB values and is not a print-production tolerance.
The current converter compares 907 community-estimated sRGB values for Pantone Coated references, identified by codes ending in C.
No. Toon Tone is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pantone. The results are unofficial screen approximations for initial reference only.
