Overview

Pantone Connect is a digital platform developed by Pantone to help designers, brands, and manufacturers access and work with Pantone’s extensive color libraries across their digital workflows. Available as a web app, mobile app, and Adobe Creative Cloud extension, Pantone Connect enables users to find, save, and share Pantone colors easily from any device.


The platform provides features like color search, palette creation, color harmonies, color conversions to various formats (like HEX, RGB, CMYK), and collaboration tools. It ensures that designers can maintain color accuracy from inspiration to production, streamlining the creative process across digital and physical outputs.

Challenge

Designers and creative professionals needed a more efficient way to access Pantone's extensive color libraries, create and save palettes, and seamlessly integrate color choices with industry-standard design software. Traditional color management was cumbersome and created inconsistencies across digital design projects.
