Spot colors are specially mixed inks that come in a rainbow of colors, including some specialty inks such as metallic and fluorescent. Unlike CMYK or process color which creates colors by laying down layer of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in varying amounts on the printed page, spot colors are pre-mixed and applied individually to the printed page. The PANTONE Matching System is the dominant spot color printing system in the United States. Click here to view the PMS color chart.
