Pantone LLC, the global authority on color and provider of professional color tools for designers, introduced an expanded array of color to the Pantone Matching System™ (PMS). The addition of 294 trend-relevant colors creates a library of over 2,100 colors, including improved cross-referencing to Pantone’s Fashion,
Home+Interiors (FHI) system and allows for more design flexibility throughout the production and supply chain. Marking the first addition of colors to the “Pantone Matching System” since 2016, these new colors offer graphic and product designers, brands, printers, converters and ink manufacturers unique benefits for every creative and professional need, and an even more seamless process to transition from between physical and digital mediums.
Combining the stability and consistency of physical Pantone color guides and the expansive, easily cross-referenced digital Pantone color libraries, this new expansion offers users the opportunity to create truly cross- platform designs from inspiration to production, allowing them to color with confidence.
We are also excited to announce that designers will now be able to access and use the most up- to-date Pantone color libraries right within the latest version of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.
A new “Pantone Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud” allows users to search both PMS and FHI color systems to easily convert CMYK, RGB, and Hex values to Pantone colors.
In addition, users are able to build color palettes of Pantone Colors that can be saved and stored, allowing creative teams to share and re-use color palettes when using the extension in Adobe Creative Cloud.
“By integrating the full Pantone experience, including the 294 new colors added to the graphics library into Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, the Pantone Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud delivers simple, intuitive&collaborative color workflow management for designers, said Adobe Sr. Director of Partner Ecosystem,
Vijay Vachani. “Adobe and Pantone are excited to explore more opportunities to improve the everyday lives of our shared customers.”
