Pantone TPG VS TPX

TPG colors, naming and numbering are the same as TPX colors. However, if someone is specifying color using TPX, their guides are significantly out of date, and they should consider replacing their guides to ensure colors are visually accurate.

Are Pantone TPG and TPX the same?

The letter G (=GREEN) at the end tells it is a colour from the latest system, updated in 2015. The letter X at the end tells it is a colour from the EXTENDED RANGE system, updated in 2003. TPG colours and TPX colours are the same, but the new TPG suffix indicates much more eco-friendly formulations.
