COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2019

THE PANTONE STORY
Pantone is most commonly known for its standardised colour matching system that makes designing, printing and manufacturing globally consistent. Have you ever been in a situation with someone where you both have a completely different perception of what colour something was? Well, this misunderstanding can be a creative person’s nightmare! Luckily, the Pantone colour codes prevent such mix-ups at the printers. Hooray :)
The Pantone Colour Institute is a unit within Pantone that provides a consultancy service. They are responsible for forecasting colour trends and providing colour insights through research spanning across a number of industries including entertainment, economic, art, travel, design and fashion. In 2000, it was this Institute that created the Pantone ‘Colour of the Year’. Needless to say it has had a huge influence on trends in the creative, branding and marketing professions.
