The Solid Guide Set from Pantone bundles all four of their solid color guides, including the Formula Guide (Coated & Uncoated), Pastels & Neons Guide, and Metallics Guide. Users will have access to 3026 Pantone Matching System colors, which breaks down to 1867 traditional spot colors, 865 metallics, 154 pastels, and 56 neons. Each color is displayed with coordinating numbers and ink formulations, while also being arranged in chromatic format, with 112 new colors displayed in the front of both Formula Guides. An index on the back of each guide provides a numeric location for each color and a lighting indicator page demonstrates when lighting conditions are suitable for color evaluation. This set may be used for branding, packaging, marketing materials, signage, and when spot color printing is critical.
Please note that Pantone books should be replaced 12-18 months after opening due to color shifts and fading that occurs over time.
