Now paint & color speak the same language

Designers everywhere recognize the name Pantone. Most consumers, however, aren’t familiar with the Pantone Color Matching System responsible for making sure that the color of just about everything purchased is manufactured to the designer’s specification.

That is beginning to change as Pantone forms strategic alliances that put their name and products in front of the customer rather than just behind the scenes in the hands of designers and manufacturers.

Another partnership was announced today:

Fine Paints of Europe & Pantone Form Color Alliance

Pantone’s wide ranging color palette is used internationally to access color trends, communicate color choices, and control consistency of color across every imaginable surface, texture, material, and finish.

For more than a decade, Fine Paints of Europe has offered accurate color matches to recognized international color standards. As a result of their proven capabilities and uncompromising commitment to color accuracy, Fine Paints of Europe has been licensed by Pantone, Inc.

This relationship between Pantone and Fine Paints of Europe enables designers, architects, and individual homeowners to specify and match Pantone’s color palettes in paint.
