3 FASHION+HOME lose wait + gain time As a designer, you have to be an inventor and find innovative ways to excite your clients. And yet, turning your design inspiration into a product reality is no easy task, especially these days, when it s all about lead-times and costs. With tighter budgets and design taking place as close to the season as possible, it s essential to have a color development process that allows you to create without the wait and go from design studio to store in a much shorter time frame. Why spend valuable time developing a custom color standard when you can more quickly communicate color in a language everyone understands? Globally available and easily accessible, the PANTONE FASHION + HOME SMART Color System removes any limitations from your design process by providing precise color on an international stage, without compromise. No matter what materials you work with, we have what suits your needs. Whether it s our cotton swatch cards for home textiles and apparel development, or our paper chips for accessories, leather and home furnishings, you can choose the format that s right for you.

Our partnership with Clariant International Ltd., a leading global supplier of textile dyes, 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. With Clariant s formulation*, your mill or vendor can reduce the color development cycle by 50% or more, saving you both time and money. Managing the time line of any color development process is critical. Utilizing spectral data and dye recipes for PANTONE Colors will allow you to shorten the development of your color line. Combining the ease of digital color with a PANTONE SMART color standard will prevent any compromise in your visual expectations. 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 and agility to push those all-important color decisions to later in the design process.

Of course, it all starts with our palette 1,925 colors selected specifically for their relevance to the fashion and home furnishings markets. We continually refresh our palette to add new colors that reflect market trends and new core shades. Though no color system can offer every possible color, working with the most relevant color system to your market helps to ensure your products are the right color for the season. And so that all of the colors in the PANTONE FASHION + HOME SMART Color System are easily reproducible by your favorite mill or vendor, we use only dyestuffs that are globally available, approved and optimized for color constancy and colorfastness.* Add to the mix our parent company, X-Rite, Incorporated, the leader in supply chain color management and communication, and you have unrivaled start-to-finish color expertise with globally available dyes and digital color data to provide a comprehensive color solution.
