CARLSTADT, N.J.–Pantone has issued the summer 2010 edition of the Pantone View Colour Planner, its cross-discipline color-planning tool.
Titled “Magic,” the new Colour Planner showcases eight palettes geared toward apparel, cosmetics, interiors, industrial design and graphics. The palettes represent “the colors of an optimistic future,” according to a statement from Pantone. They include color groupings inspired by dawn and dusk, summer white looks, rich hypnotic looks, glass and liquids, precious particles, hushed but dramatic design, natural looks, and colors based on stories and wisdom passed on to others.
The Pantone View Colour Planner is published biannually, 18 to 24 months ahead of the season. It’s based on the Pantone Fashion + Home Color System, a color-forecasting service for multiple design areas gathered from experts in a variety of design disciplines.
