CMYK → Pantone

Enter your CMYK values to find the closest Pantone Solid Coated (C) match. Results are ranked by CIE76 ΔE. The lower the number, the closer the colour.

Important: Pantone colours are defined by physical ink formulations, not hex codes. The hex values used here are screen-display approximations of the Pantone Solid Coated library. Always verify your final colour against a physical Pantone fan deck before going to press. ΔE is computed by converting your CMYK to sRGB via a realistic ink-absorption model (ISO Coated process ink primaries) then to L*a*b*, compared against each Pantone's screen approximation using CIE76. Both sides share the same sRGB reference frame so ΔE values are consistent.
