Yes, and typically yes! A recent, non-faded Pantone Color Standard reference sample is critical to ensure color quality and consistency when projects move out of the digital realm. It’s especially critical to evaluate real-world color achievability for physical product and brand applications because of the fundamental difference between additive and subtractive color spaces. To order a physical sample, go to the color's menu in Pantone Connect (click on any color to display menu) and select the option to "Get Physical Sample". That will bring you to the color reference page on Pantone.com where you can purchase a sample or reference book containing this color.
