PANTONE Pastel formula guide latest edition
updated with 28 new colours
For
quieter but versatile designs. When the situation calls for a softer
palette, this expanded guide helps specify even more subtle colours.
Now features 154 PANTONE Pastel Colors arranged chromatically on both
coated and uncoated stocks, complete with ink formulas
The new
PANTONE metallic and pastel colour palettes are available in fan guide
format for convenience and portability, or as loose-leaf chips books
with tear-out colour swatches for easy colour specification. In
addition, replacement pages are available for both PANTONE metallic
chips and PANTONE pastel chips, making it easy for designers to update
their PANTONE Colour reference books with the latest specialty colours.
"Designers
are incorporating more specialty colours into their designs, especially
metallic colours," said Doris Brown, vice president of marketing for
Pantone, Inc. "Without them it would be impossible to reproduce the
true luster and sleek shine of a new sports car or the pale rosy blush
of a peach. Creative professionals know they can trust Pantone to give
them the exact specifications for accurate and flawless color quality.
The new metallic and pastel guides offer designers hundreds of new
colour choices."
For more than 40 years, Pantone has provided
colour formula guides to ensure that colour reproduction adheres to
exact industry standards. Pantone’s flagship product, the PANTONE
formula guide, sets the benchmark for colour and provides a consistent
method for the selection and matching of solid PANTONE Colors. In
addition to solid colours, Pantone provides specialty colours such as
those included in the PANTONE metallic and PANTONE pastel guides to
accommodate today’s product and package design trends.
PANTONE pastel formula guide
The
PANTONE pastel formula guide gives professionals an easy-to-see
reference tool featuring a full range of soft and subtle colours not
found in the lighter shades of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM. One hundred
fifty four pastel colours are chromatically arranged and available in a
fan guide format along with their PANTONE Number and ink formula, or in
book format with tear-out chips to ensure accurate colour
specification. The PANTONE pastel formula guide and chips book are both
printed on coated and uncoated stock to show how different papers
affect colour appearance.
The new colour guides are produced on
the company’s customized KBA printing press, which has been
precision-engineered for improved colour consistency. The press uses
state-of-the-art printing technology with integrated colour measurement
controls to reproduce colour with even greater consistency and tighter
tolerances. This new technology greatly improves this critical process.
