Guide
Convert common Pantone and PMS color codes to approximate HEX values for digital design, CSS references, and brand documentation.
Pantone color names are useful in print and brand systems, while HEX values are used in CSS, design tokens, prototypes, and web documentation. This converter gives you a quick bridge between those contexts by mapping common PMS-style codes to approximate digital colors.
The output is useful when a brand palette includes a PMS value but you need a web-friendly value for a landing page, style guide, or internal mockup. You can enter a code such as PMS 286 C, copy the HEX result, and keep your color documentation moving without switching tools.
A Pantone color and a HEX color are not the same kind of color. Screens emit light, printed materials reflect light, and real output depends on the display, substrate, printer, ink, and viewing conditions. Because of that, this tool should be used as a practical approximation rather than a color-management authority.
For final brand systems, compare the result with official brand guidelines or a professionally maintained conversion table. For everyday digital work, the page gives a simple answer and keeps the reference easy to copy.
Quick reference
PMS 286 C
HEX: #0033A0 / RGB: 0, 51, 160
Screen colors and print colors are different systems. Use these results for planning, documentation, and handoff, then proof final print values.
The tool accepts common practical formats and normalizes the value before converting, which helps reduce copy-paste friction.
For brand or print work, compare the result with official brand guidelines, swatches, color profiles, or printer-approved values.
Common mistakes
They can be approximated, but not perfectly represented. HEX describes screen color and Pantone describes a print color reference.
Common formats such as 286 C, PMS 286 C, PANTONE 286 C, and Black C are accepted when the code exists in the table.
Use it for fast digital references. For final approval, rely on official brand guidelines and color-managed proofing.
