PMS Spot Color vs. 4-Color Process

A PMS colour is a colour that is printed in an ink mixed according to the Pantone Matching System, which is a system of mixing colours by weight, using a standardized set of basic ink colours. This system is the international standard by which almost all printers mix their colours. Pantone colours are used in spot colour printing as opposed to four colour process.

Four colour process refers to the process whereby all colours are broken down into four ink colours: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK, respectively).
