My favorite Pantone colors (I can't pick just one — that's like picking your favorite child!): 3248 C, 382 C, 707 C. And many more, depending on my mood and the day of the week :)

[Alvin Martinez]

Does anyone REALLY have just one?

One of my top favs is 302 C.

Always good in a pinch when you can't find that color with the deadline looming. Versatile and goes with most color ranges (oranges, yellow, greens) and communicates "corporate" very clearly without being too pushy. Also the CMYK version holds it's original color well, unlike other Pantones that look radically different converted to CMYK.

186U and C.

Deep, dark red. It's not too dark though. And works so well in spot or CMYK. It's never let me down and it really is a power colour without being out-of-style like 287 or 356.

7417!
Not too red, not too orange, and not too pink. Just right.

Right now it's Pantone Warm Red. I usually tend towards cooler reds, but this one reminds me of geraniums, I want to eat the chip.

And 292 is the blue to make any client happy.

1817 C

the most delicius chocolate color!

[Jenn Kitagawa]

Tastes like an olive and looks like a fridge. Oh yes, 398.

[Aaron Rinas]

Pantone 317 C is my go to color for my life, home and work. It always manages to pop up somewhere, even if it's unexpected.

Pantone metallic 8163. Beautiful color, metallic sheen. Looks gorgeous printed in large areas!

[Marie Hohner]

Oh the subtleties of Warm Grey 9C!

[Andy van der Raadt]

3015C - It reminds me of the sea.

[Siong Chin]

I can't say I have a particular favourite - I explore all colours and avoid few, but if there is one that I use most of, it's 2925 C.

[kickpleat]

I'll go with 390 C for now. It's always changing.

[Elaine]

Lavender PANTONE 15-3817 because lavender is my favourite herb and it makes me think of summer in Provence (although I've only been there in my dreams).

[Kate B]

Right now I am really feeling Pantone 19-3938, which I wish my company would let me use in their rebranding, because it's such a delighfully modern navy. However, most of their materials are already in 648 C, and I don't think they're quite open to that kind of freshening up.

[Jaime Z]

Pantone 304 c is soothing, bright, refreshing, and happy all at once!

[Lilibeth]

Today it's 665 C. Because right now, my 4 year old goddaughter is loving all shades of violet. This colour reminds me of her.

[NK13]

My vote goes to PMS 360 C, a nice bright, refreshing, lluscious green.

[Cole Bingham]

I love 14-0852 TCX !!! It's not yellow, but it's not gold...it's the perfect in-between for a sunny wall or lemonade-y eye-catcher! I'm going to paint my room at college this color!

[Kathe Gray]

Professionally, I like PMS 408, a deep moody grey with pale undertones of chocolate and a slight dusky purple after taste. Neutral but never dull. Also converts to CMYK fairly well. I'm also a fan of the warm grey family too.

Personally, PMS 7493. It's the kind of soft green I could feather my nest with, the perfect colour to curl up and read a good book in.
