Color technology solution provider Pantone Inc introduced PANTONE Color Cue 2, the next generation of its award-winning handheld colorimeter. Designers gather inspiration everywhere they look, from flower petals and seashells to fabric and plastic. Now with the click of a button, the new Color Cue 2 lets them capture their color inspiration for later use in designs of all kinds.

Color Cue 2 empowers designers across multiple industries including graphic arts, architecture, interiors, fashion and home with broad color matching capability. The device saves designers time and money when capturing color inspiration by drastically reducing the time for color identification compared to other measuring devices, which can cost thousands of dollars. Whether a final design is slated for the Web or print, Color Cue2 helps designers complete a project faster and with less room for error.

Prabal Gurung, a designer at Bill Blass stated that Color Cue expedites the entire design process by greatly reducing the amount of time it takes to find the right color. This frees me to focus my time and energy on my ultimate goal: making beautiful clothes.

The new Color Cue2 combines the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM Library for coated, uncoated and matte stock and the PANTONE Textile Color System Library for fashion and home and for architecture and interiors - into one portable, affordable, handheld device.

With one small device, users can toggle across two PANTONE Libraries and cross-match any material or surface. For example, capture the color of a seashell and convert it to a PANTONE Color for use on a product package, silk skirt or hotel lobby carpet.
