Pantone today introduced 175 new colors to its Pantone Fashion + Home Color System, bringing its total to 2,100 shades.
As a comprehensive resource to the industry, hundreds of thousands of designers, manufacturers and retailers worldwide rely on the Pantone Fashion + Home Color System for color selection, accurate color communication and creative inspiration. Reflecting today's global color influences across fashion, home furnishings and interior design, the 175 new colors enrich the current palette and focus on areas of significant market importance and color trend movement.
"Designers continually discover new color inspiration and look to Pantone to help them reliably reproduce these colors in their designs," said Laurie Pressman, vice president of fashion, home and interiors at Pantone. "When evaluating how to expand the Pantone Fashion + HOME Color System with more color options, it was essential to create a broad range of colors that were both trend-right and technically achievable for all of the markets we serve - from fashion and home furnishings to interior and industrial design."
The 175 new colors represent permanent additions to the Pantone Fashion + HOME Color System. For a more comprehensive selection, all color families were expanded to include:
- A broader range of nuanced neutrals and mid-tones
- An increased number of vibrant brights
- Many complex hues with greater depth and intensity
- More subdued and smoky variations of popular colors
Arranged by color family, the 175 new colors can be purchased separately or combined with current Pantone Fashion + Home and Pantone Paints + Interiors publications. The new colors are also available individually in Pantone Smart Color Swatch Card format.
