Fashion Forward
In today’s global marketplace and current climate, the speed in which you can take your ideas from design studio to store is one of the most critical factors in a product’s success.
The time between ordering and delivery of merchandise is getting shorter. The inability to achieve palette standards in a timely manner can result in late deliveries and a loss of sales and profit.
Only using the latest PANTONE FASHION + HOME SMART Color Standards will enable you to achieve precise color on a digital and international stage without compromise.
Forward Thinking
Color accuracy is no longer a luxury; it is a requirement. Pantone’s partnership with Clariant, a world leader in dyestuff production, combines the best selection in color with the best recipes for shade replication and repeatability so you get perfect, technically sound hues, faster and easier than ever before. Learn more at matchpantonecolors.com.
Combining the ease of digital color and the right dye recipe with a PANTONE SMART Color standard will prevent any compromises in visual expectation and shorten your color development timeline. A technically sound color system means fewer lab dips, resulting in greater cost savings and faster turnaround for optimum on-time production. This increased efficiency gives you the flexibility to push those crucial color decisions to later in the design process so you can react quickly to the very latest trends and avoid costly inventory mistakes.
Update
Working with older products which are not supported digitally will not provide you with the technical benefits needed to effectively compete in today’s marketplace.
Only the new, technically enhanced SMART System color tools allow you to take advantage of the superior accuracy, speed and efficiency guaranteed by the world’s most widely recognized color system.
