No matter where you roam — a client office or coffee shop, a showroom or pressroom, onsite or off the map — take along the one guide that lets you select, match, communicate, and specify color.
Pantone’s new Designer Field Guide — a multi-function version of the popular Pantone Plus Series Formula Guide — combines portability with versatility.
Wide color swatches and tear-out chips of all 1,341 Pantone Solid colors offer both design inspiration and accurate color specification in a single guide — a large color viewing area provides easy visualization, and chips can be attached to artwork and files to ensure precise color communication across your workflow. It’s the perfect traveling companion for designers and color professionals.
Colors in the Designer Field Guide are arranged chromatically for intuitive selection, and printed on coated and uncoated text-weight stock. The guide features a color locator index and a lighting evaluation tool.
