Family of SMART Color Tools: The PANTONE FASHION + HOME cotton passport is a companion to the PANTONE SMART Color Swatch Card, announced earlier this year.
PANTONE SMART Color Swatch Cards are available in all 1,925 colors and play a crucial role in matching color from design table to manufacturing plant. PANTONE SMART Color Swatch Cards come with double-folded fabric measuring 4" by 4".
Unfolded, the fabric swatch measures 4" by 8", giving users twice the amount of fabric for optimum color visualization and instrumental evaluation. The swatches are individually packaged and are free of any backing paper or adhesives that affect the color appearance of spectral readings.
