Are you looking for the latest Pantone color news? Here is everything you need to know about the new Pantone Formula Guide and the introduction of brand-new PMS colors. How many new shades were added?
The Pantone family is expanding! 224 new mixed colors have been added, bringing the total count in the guide to a remarkable 2,614 shades. This collection combines robust, reliable bases with vibrant and energetic hues, perfect for bringing any design project to life.
How are these new colors created?
The process begins with an in-depth analysis of the Pantone Matching System to identify new color opportunities. Next, the Pantone Color Institute studies global trends to develop the shades most in demand by brands and designers.
Where can I find the new colors?
The new shades are included in all major Pantone graphics products, including:
• Pantone Formula Guide (Coated and Uncoated)
• Pantone Color Bridge and Solid Chips
• Pantone Solid Guide Set, Reference Library, and Portable Guide Set
• Pantone Essentials Set, Solid Color Set, and Coated Combo
Check the Details section for complete specifications and further insights.
Are there any updates for Metallics, Pastels, and Neons? No, these product lines remain unchanged. No new colors were added, and the covers are the same as before. Can I apply protective coatings? Yes, the colors printed in the latest guide are fully compatible with water-based coatings, UV coatings, and overprint varnishes. What materials and printing techniques are used? • Printing: All guides and graphics books are printed using state-of-the-art offset lithographic technology. • Paper: The paper weight and quality remain unchanged (148 g/m² for the coated version and 118 g/m² for the uncoated version). How are the new base inks made? Solid colors are mixed using 11 base inks (compared to the previous 18). The big news is that they are formulated with vegetable oils and bio-renewable resources, and are completely barium-free. Why does uncoated paper sometimes show small white dots? When using offset printing on uncoated paper, it is completely normal for tiny white dots to appear. This is an expected effect that does not affect the precision or color quality in any way.
