But Wait, What exactly is Pantone?

Pantone is a company best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), which is a standardised colour matching system widely used in various industries, especially in printing, graphic design, and fashion. The Pantone system assigns unique numbers and names to colours, allowing designers, manufacturers, and other professionals to communicate and reproduce colours consistently across different materials and media.

In addition to the Matching System, Pantone also provides colour guides, software, and other tools to help individuals and businesses work with colours effectively and consistently in their creative and production processes.

More than just a pretty colour, Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year, ‘Peach Fuzz,’ is all about feeling good and taking care of yourself. Here’s how this soft peach tone can change up your beauty routine.

How ‘Peach Fuzz’ Works Its Magic
