Since 1998, the Tiffany Blue color has been registered as a color trademark by Tiffany & Co.[2][3] It is produced as a private custom color by Pantone, with PMS number 1837, the number deriving from the year of Tiffany's foundation.[4]
The custom color we created for Tiffany is called "1837 Blue". It was given this name as the year 1837 marks the founding of Tiffany.
