Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name for the blue color associated with Tiffany & Co., the New York City jewelry company.
A common misconception is that the color has been developed as a custom color in the Pantone Matching System (PMS), with PMS number 1837.[citation needed] However, there is no PMS 1837 in the Pantone Matching System swatch book. If it did exist, ironically, it would not even be blue as that number falls in the red region of the color wheel. The actual PMS colors closest to Tiffany Blue are PMS 318 and PMS 319. Tiffany & Co. was founded in the year 1837 and that may have contributed to the origin of this urban legend.
The Tiffany Blue color has been protected as a color trademark by Tiffany & Co. in some jurisdictions including the U.S.[1][2]
