Geocache Description:


Container not at posted coordinates. Solve puzzle to find container. Solution checker can be found on the webpage for this puzzle.

There are so many colors in the rainbow, and most can be found in Pantone's library.

Pantone is the global standard for color.  A Pantone color stays consistent regardless of what kind of project you are working on. Pantone started in New York City in the 1950s. The Pantone Color Guides were their primary product and allowed designers to accurately color match for specific colors based on a standardized numbering system called the Pantone Matching System.

The Pantone color guide encompasses such areas as graphics, textiles, and pigments. Each color has an assigned number, and some also have names.

I have used their cotton guide (FHI-TCX-fashion home interiors-textile cotton) to create this puzzle.

You are NOT looking for the color value to solve.

Always use digit to the furthest right to solve. Container is a water bottle that I left with a pen. Feel free to leave your favorite color in the log.

Final coords were averaged quite a bit, but should be found quickly with geo-sense.
