{{Short description|Six-color printing process designed by Pantone Inc}} '''Hexachrome''' is a discontinued six-color printing process designed by [[Pantone]]. In addition to custom [[CMYK]] inks, Hexachrome uses orange and green inks to expand the color gamut for better color reproduction. It is therefore also known as a CMYKOG process. Hexachrome was discontinued by Pantone in 2008 when [[Adobe Inc.|Adobe Systems]] stopped supporting the HexWare [[Plug-in (computing)|plugin]] software. While the details of Hexachrome were not secret, its use was limited by trademark and patent to those obtaining a license from Pantone. The inventor of Hexachrome is Richard Herbert, who is also the president of Pantone Inc.<ref name=Story>{{cite web|last=Anchell|first=Steve|title=The Pantone Story|url=http://www2.rangefindermag.com/magazine/May06/showpage.taf?page=84.tml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100127061109/http://www2.rangefindermag.com/magazine/May06/showpage.taf?page=84.tml|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 January 2010|publisher=Rangefinder Magazine|access-date=1 March 2012}}</ref>
