Formula Guide | Coated & Uncoated Ultimate Color Matching Tool to Communicate Color in Graphics and Print | GP1601B

Pantone books are expensive us designers all know this - with the problem of now pantone charging to use the swatches in adobe this is causing designers all across the world to pull their hair out as an added cost to what they pay for adobe software. My issue with these books is that they are not matching properly so they look shades different. Making it really hard to choose colours using this book. I am at a loss of what to do. Is anyone else having this issue with these books?

Terrible. Printed on really flimsy stock, print of the colours are grainy - they dont match, small spectrum of colour choices - no lighter colours. Definatley not worth the money. Will be returning

Pantone quality you expect, but at a price tag

Colours do not appear to be accurate to PMS. Just had a major issue with some print and everyone else's Pantone book showed a different colour to this one.

C'est la vraie référence Pantone, pas une copie. Le papier est certes plus mince qu'avant mais c'est une politique de réduction des coûts qui touche toutes les marques. Les couleurs sont bien rendues avec de beaux aplats sans défauts. Et le prix est imbattable, moins cher que sur le site Pantone. Je recommande ce produit.

Está a muy bien precio. Es el más reciente. En México no lo encontraba abajo de.los.7000 pesos en lugares de hasta 9. Y si como siempre la calidad de Pantone. Altamente recomendable. Antes de q suba de costo.....

Pantone color books do not match the colors on the Pantone site.

Recently added the Pantone Formula Guide to my workspace, and it’s a solid investment for any designer or print professional. Having two separate books for Coated and Uncoated stocks makes color selection much more practical and efficient, especially when working across different print finishes. With 2,390 total colors, the range is extensive and gives great confidence when matching and specifying colors accurately. The print quality and color consistency are excellent, reflecting Pantone’s industry standards. The guides feel durable and well-made, clearly designed for regular professional use. The packaging is also well thought out, keeping the guides protected and organized. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable tool that truly supports precise color decision-making in design and print workflows. A must-have for serious creatives and studios. “I bought this for a friend from Sri Lanka and this is his review of the product.”
