New Color Tools Available for Graphic and Fashion Designers
New and improved Pantone color guides are now available. These guides feature larger color area, brighter papers, improved color reproduction, and greater utility.
(PRWEB) May 7, 2005 -- Colorguides.net, an internet distributor for Pantone
color products, announces the new and improved Pantone color guides are now
available on their web site www.colorguides.net.
The most revolutionary new
product is the color bridge. The Pantone color bridge is a must have guide for
web and graphic designers. This guide contains CMYK percentages for reproducing
the solid color in 4 color process, as well as HTML values, enabling web
designers to use the Pantone palette in web design. The standard for web design
has been the Netscape browser safe palette, which only contains 216 colors . The
most recent statistics show that 94% of internet surfers have browsers which are
capable of displaying a minimum of 65,000 colors. So why are designers using
only 216 colors? Until now, incorporating Pantone solid colors has been
difficult. With the Pantone color bridge, HTML values are printed underneath the
solid color chip, allowing web designers to expand their color palette to 1000
colors. The web safe color palette is now officially dead. If you would prefer
using software, the Pantone Colorist includes the same solid color palette, and
works with any software program accessing the Windows or Mac color pickers, such
as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Front Page, Apple Keynote, or Macromedia Web
Tools. How much easier can it get to incorporate Pantone colors in your web
designs?
The Pantone color cue has also been redesigned, combining the
Pantone solid palette and the Pantone Fashion and Home palette in one easy to
use tool. The PANTONE® Color Cue™2 simplifies color identification and selection
for interior designers, graphic designers, stylists, merchandisers, apparel
designers and manufacturers. Picking the right color is one of the most
important design decision that you can make. With a simple click of the Color
Cue™2 on any surface, you can identify the closest PANTONE solid color or
Fashion and Home color. The new Color Cue™2 also comes bundled with the popular
Fashion and Home color guide, to use for sample shopping, client, or an
important vendor meeting. Once you start using the Color Cue™2, you will wonder
how you ever got along without it.
