Love Pantone
Love Pantone. Always nice to get out all the colors to mix and match. Did you know that in Europe (at least in the Netherlands) a company is trying to get the sole ownership of using magenta? Ridiculous. People have started a website to fight it: www.freemagenta.nl. I would say: every color of the spectrum should be free to be!

I see Pantone
With Pantone my colour selection for design is credible. Final print is predictable and effective. Whenever I think in colour, I see Pantone. With Pantone I am sure about my colours.

Pantone will have done it before
When I was small, they existed in 8 colors, not more. Now I work in design and the colors are in the thousands. Whenever I choose a color, I always choose Pantone in Illustrator or Photoshop. Surely if I invented a color, Pantone will have done it before.

Good, but patchy
Good, but patchy in its spectrum (reg. CMYK). Lame in customer service - a brand that has no telephone number. A product that theoretically works until you use a different paper stock.

An alphabet of color
For all folks that say they hate it; you're just a bunch of haters that don't know Pantone. That's like saying you don't like the existence of the alphabet or languages. Pantone is a standard in color code systems which makes communications on colors very easy. I think the only reason to dislike Pantone is price; it's a pricey tool, but well worth it!
