Pantone Introduces 294 New Colors

Pantone LLC has launched a globally expanded color range for addition to the Pantone Matching System™ (PMS). With the addition of 294 trend colors bringing the total number of colors to 2,100 and the developed "Pantone Fashion, Home and Interiors System (FHI)" enabling cross-matching, the company offers greater design flexibility to production and supply chains. The first addition to the Pantone Matching System (PMS) since 2016, these colors will provide unique benefits to graphic designers, product designers, brands, print and packaging firms, and ink manufacturers for all their creative and professional needs, and through seamless transitions between physical and digital media, will elevate the quality of created work to excellence. The new "Pantone Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud" allows users to search across PMS and FHI color systems to convert CMYK, RGB and Hex values to Pantone colors. Additionally, users can create color palettes composed of Pantone colors that can be saved and stored, enabling creative teams to share and reuse these color palettes when using the plug-in within Adobe Creative Cloud. Vijay Vacchani, Senior Director of Partner Ecosystem at Adobe, said, "By integrating the full Pantone experience so that the graphics library containing 294 new colors is accessible from Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, the Pantone Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud provides designers with a simple, intuitive and collaborative workflow management. As Adobe and Pantone, we are excited to be pursuing new opportunities that will improve the daily lives of our mutual customers."
