Paramount Views On Color

Hexachrome is a standardized, ultra-high-fidelity process printing system developed by Pantone that incorporates six ink colors as opposed to four. The six inks are modified, more vibrant versions of cyan, magenta and yellow with the addition of green and orange. Black is the sixth color.

Hexachrome expands the range of colors that can be printed using conventional printing presses, improves the realism and vividness of color reproduction and accurately reproduces almost twice the number of PANTONE colors that can be obtained using conventional four-color process printing.
