Pantone Matching System. An internationally recognised system for matching colours, i.e. ensuring a document/design prints in exactly the colours that were asked for. Each colour comes with a reference number, explaining what number the colour is and what surface it has been applied to. (Coated/Uncoated etc...) The designer can supply a list of Pantone numbers that are to be used in the printing process, and the printer can then use these to set up the printer ink and ensure the correct colours are used. Very good for eliminating any sort of mistakes.
And in a very dry design-humour sort of way people have applied this kind of thing to every day products. Making the sort of thing that you can't tell if the designer was trying to be slightly funny or slightly clever or something like that.
