PANTONE Coated Combo Formula Guide and Color Bridge
Two guides for coated paper to specify spot colors and compare process colors.
The PANTONE® Coated Combo combines two frequently used color tools in one affordable package. Select and specify PANTONE spot colors with the coated Formula Guide. Then compare them with the coated Color Bridge Guide to the closest CMYK equivalents, as well as RGB and HTML values.
The Formula Guide contains all 2,614 spot colors of the PANTONE Graphics System and provides the ink formulations required for production. Color Bridge complements this by directly comparing spot and process colors, helping to assess how a color can be reproduced in standard CMYK printing.
Both portable fan guides include 224 new colors and are designed for coated paper. Together, they support consistent color decisions in graphic design, brand development, packaging, print, and digital applications.
