Pantone Colour Match Card

Overview of the Pantone Colour Match Card

Works with Pantone Connect for Android and iOS

The Pantone Colour Match Card works with your phone’s camera to measure and match coloured objects, materials and surfaces to a Pantone Colour. With the size and portability of a credit card, this unique system makes matching an inspirational colour to Pantone as easy as taking a photo – at accuracy levels approaching more expensive colour-reading devices.

Use the Pantone Card with the Pantone Connect mobile app to capture a colour, search for the best match, and save your chosen Pantone Colour to a palette for designing later in the Pantone Connect Extension for Adobe Creative Cloud.

Accuracy Rating

• Under correct conditions, returns a much more accurate colour match than traditional colour extraction from an image.
• Requires a compatible mobile device, a well-lit environment, a flat single-colour surface, and a clean camera lens for best results.
• Colour is matched and measured via dual illumination (flash &ambient)
• When measuring against a Pantone Color Reference to compare accuracy, understand that factors such as age, condition, and variation of your colour reference will impact results.
• For the most accurate colour matching, consider a spectrophotometer such as a Pantone Capsure,i1Studio, or i1Pro3 device.

• Colours integrate into Pantone Connect mobile, web, and Adobe® Extension for palette creation and designing in Adobe® Creative Cloud® tools
