Pantone Cotton Passport: New Portable Design Tool

Pantone Cotton Passport

Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced the PANTONE cotton passport, the newest publication in the PANTONE FASHION + HOME SMART Color System line of products. SMART is indicative of the company's commitment to deliver innovation that is Sensible, Manageable, Accessible, Relevant and Tough, reducing costs and shortening the color development cycle.

Ideal for making quick color choices in the office or while traveling, the PANTONE cotton passport provides designers, retailers and manufacturers with a portable display of all 1,925 cotton color chips in the PANTONE FASHION + HOME palette in one compact book. Arranged by color family and presented in a user-friendly accordion format, the cotton passport unfolds for easy viewing of the entire spectrum of colors in the system at one time.

"Inspiration can strike at any time of day, whether I'm in New York, Paris or Milan," said Lance Le Pere, executive vice president and creative director for Michael Kors Women's Design. "Having the PANTONE cotton passport makes it quick and easy to have instant visual results."

The cotton passport measures 8" high, 5 ½ " wide and 1" deep, and is housed in a chocolate, sport-nylon binder with a complementary orange and rust belly-band closure, created especially for Pantone by Filofax. Each cotton color chip in the passport is 3/8" high by 5/8" wide.

"In today's global economy, people travel more extensively to produce their products," said Tod Schulman, vice president of fashion and home for Pantone. "The cotton passport is compact and lightweight - a great tool for customers to take anywhere and anytime they need to specify color. Offering our design tools in multiple formats provides greater flexibility and utility of our FASHION + HOME System, making it more adaptable to the demanding needs of our customers in their creative design and color management processes."
