Our Pantone to HEX Converter bridges the gap between print and digital design by providing accurate conversions from the Pantone Matching System to web-friendly HEX codes. This tool is indispensable for designers working across multiple media, ensuring brand colors remain consistent whether printed on packaging or displayed on websites and mobile apps. The converter includes 84 core Pantone colors, from vibrant primaries like “Yellow C” (#FEDD00) and “Red 032 C” (#EF3340) to essential neutrals like “Cool Gray 11 C” (#53565A). Each conversion provides both HEX and RGB values with one-click copying functionality. The intuitive interface allows for easy searching by Pantone name or number, making it faster than traditional color matching guides. Whether you’re a graphic designer creating digital assets from print materials, a web developer implementing brand guidelines, or a marketing professional ensuring color consistency across campaigns, this tool eliminates guesswork and potential color mismatches that can undermine brand recognition.

Pantone colors are formulated with specific ink mixtures for print, while HEX codes represent colors on screens using RGB light. The conversion provides the closest digital approximation, but variations can occur due to different color systems (CMYK vs. RGB), monitor calibration, and viewing conditions.
While our online tool provides instant conversion, in Photoshop you can: 1) Use the Pantone color libraries, 2) Select your Pantone color, 3) Note the CMYK values, 4) Convert to RGB, then 5) Get the HEX code. Our tool simplifies this to one step.
Pantone C (Coated) refers to colors on coated paper, while Pantone U (Uncoated) refers to colors on uncoated paper. Our converter uses Pantone C colors as they’re more vibrant and commonly requested for digital conversion.
Pantone colors themselves aren’t copyrighted, but the Pantone Matching System and specific formulations are proprietary. You can use converted HEX codes freely for digital projects, but commercial printing using Pantone inks may require licensing for certain applications.
Common reasons include: monitor calibration differences, browser color rendering variations, incorrect HEX conversion, ambient lighting, and device screen technology (OLED vs. LCD). Always test across multiple devices.
Pantone produces over 1,800 spot colors, but our converter includes the 84 most essential and frequently used colors across design and branding. This curated selection covers the spectrum needed for most projects while maintaining tool simplicity and speed.
