PMS / Pantone Matching

Definition

The process of mixing inks or dyes to precisely match a specific Pantone Matching System colour reference. PMS codes provide a universal colour language between brands and manufacturers — specifying PMS 186 C ensures the same red regardless of who produces it. At White Cotton, we match thread colours, ink colours, fabric dyes, and trim colours to your PMS references, with lab dips provided for approval on critical colourways.
