Hi all,
I am looking to get the darkest brown printed from a pantone colour, on screen, I have a similar shade of brown to the NT site. I need match that to screen but the closest I can find is 4975, anything darker?
Thanks

it's so hard to recommend PMS colors from outside of the project... do you have anything besides a screen color to work from?
And if it's just something on-screen, I'd make sure you reference the color on your client's screen when you go in to pick you final PMS color. It's almost certainly a bit different from what you're looking at.
And get them to sign off on the final choice!

thanks for the advice, its actually for my own business cards, I just wanted the darkest brown. I have the swatches but couldn't seem to find darker than 4975

4975 may be the darkest.

497 is close to it as well (381100).

For me 476 looks like a better 'brown' not 'quite' as dark but on coated stock looks less burgundy

if you look at ink values 4975 is actually a dark purple.

i'd go 476, very rich w/ loads of color in it plus 4pts black.
or 1545 or 4625.. w/ 6pts black
