Why Approximations?

Pantone colors are physical ink formulations designed to produce consistent colors in print. Converting them to digital color spaces (RGB, HEX) or other print models (CMYK) involves inherent limitations:

Color System	Purpose	Limitations
Pantone (PMS)	Spot colors for precise print matching	Proprietary, requires physical swatch books
RGB/HEX	Screen display	Cannot represent all Pantone colors accurately
CMYK	Process printing	Gamut is smaller than Pantone spot colors
HSL	Color manipulation	Mathematical conversion from RGB
