An Important Note on Color
These colors are targets by which our color equity success can be gauged. While the color builds listed below are the Pantone matches to each swatch, all are device-dependent. Variables such as output devices, dot gain, print rotation, ink accuracy and variables in paper all affect color reproduction.
