Pantone, an X-Rite company and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, announced the addition of 84 new colors to its PANTONE PLUS SERIES, as well as Artist Edition covers, which will be available on a selection of popular PLUS SERIES guides.

Bringing the total number of colors in the PLUS SERIES to 1,755, the 84 color additions incorporate a broader range of blushes and pinks, as well as a wider variety of vibrant blues, greens and violets. The new colors will be available in coated and uncoated formats and are printed on text-weight paper to match popular print specifications. These colors, along with the 336 colors introduced in 2012, have been integrated into the color sequencing for a chromatic arrangement.

“For over fifty years, Pantone has been committed to offering color tools that inspire and support designers in their efforts to create brilliant, memorable work,” said Karen Lantelme, director of creative marketing at Pantone. “The 84 new colors, combined with the Artist Edition cover selections, further extends our commitment to designers and celebrates color’s profound impact on design.”

The Artist Edition covers feature the work of two artists from PANTONE Canvas, Pantone’s free, online portfolio sharing network powered by Behance. The PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE and PANTONE SOLID CHIPS will feature covers showcasing works of art from designer Tímea Andorka’s project, “Optics/Chromatics.” To optimize visual impact, the Coated and Uncoated FORMULA GUIDE will each feature one of the images, divided across the seven guides. The SOLID CHIP Coated and Uncoated binders will each be wrapped in one of the works of art.

PANTONE COLOR BRIDGE Coated and Uncoated will feature Artist Edition covers inspired by designer Yo Az. Each guide will feature one image from his vibrant and illustrative project entitled, “Rainbow.”
