Quick answer
Absolutely—you can pick custom colors for your coin. We match them with the Pantone Matching System : give us a PMS code if you know it, or send an example like your logo and we’ll match it from thousands of colors. You get up to five colors at no extra cost , plus specialty inks like glow-in-the-dark.
Absolutely! We use the Pantone Matching System® for easy matching, or just tell us what color you want and we’ll find the best fit from thousands!
What is the Pantone Matching System (PMS)?
The Pantone Matching System® (PMS) is a global, cross-industry standard for identifying and matching colors. Every shade has a unique PMS code, so the exact color can be reproduced consistently—which means the colors on your coin can match your branding every time.
How do you match the colors for my coin?
There are two easy ways to tell us which colors you want:
| If you… | Send us… |
|---|---|
| Already know your exact color | The Pantone (PMS) code, and we’ll use it in your design |
| Want to match a logo or sample | An example image, and we’ll match it to the closest Pantone color |
If you already know the specific Pantone® color you need, that’s great—just let us know the PMS code. Otherwise, show us an example of the colors you want used in your design, and we’ll do our best to match it.
