    This annoys me, the client probably thinks they need a pantone.

    If your logo it a nice blue colour then I can understand them wanting a pantone as blue and oranges are hard to print well on CMYK.

    But say you've designed a logo that is 100% Magenta, then there's no need for a pantone, it's just a pointless extra expense. There are reasons for pantones, generally metallics, fluorescents etc. But using a pantone for sake of it is pretty silly.

    I know CMYK can give different results on different stocks etc but the same is true for pantone too, so why worry that much about it.
