From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  Pantone
       
           A set of standard colours for printing, each of
          which is specified by a single number.  You can buy a Pantone
          swatch book containing samples of each colour.  Some computer
          graphics software allows colours to be specified as Pantone


          numbers.  Even though a computer {monitor} can only show an
          approximation to some of the colours, the software can output
          a {colour separation} for each different Pantone colour,
          enabling a print shop to exactly reproduce the original
          desired colour.
