A process swatch is for CMYK as would be printed by a 4-color printer, and a pantone swatch is a for a printing press that uses specifically that color in a premixed format. Pantone swatches are a worldwide standard of color identification among printing presses, and they are your best bet for confirming a definite color selection with a picky client. The type of swatch you use in the design is based on how you or your client intend to have the final product printed.
