pantone has just added 336 new colors to its collection
pantone has just unveiled 336 new colours in its ‘plus’ series, bringing the total of solid colour selections to 1677. the design team notes that the additions reflect primarily the selection of points within existing colour spaces to add nuances of tone, although the ‘plus’ series itself was conceived equally around developing completely new lines of color, as was the case with its neons, pastels, and coloured metallics.
all 336 new colours and their guidesare available immediately, in both coated and uncoated formats. they will be added to ‘color bridge’ and other pantone compendiums, as well as the ‘capsure’ and ‘my pantone’ mobile apps, by june 2012.
