Pantone Pumps Are A Kick Of Color. Pumptone Universe by Christian Goldemann.

*Please note: this is not an officially licensed Pantone Product, nor is it available for sale

Continuing to exploit Pantone Colors is this dream project that gives high heels a hue. Pumptone is a concept that art director /graphic designer and illustrator Christian Goldemann of goldesign wishes to produce in cooperation with Pantone Universe and famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin. This collection is yet another imaginative effort combining Pantone colors with a product.










If it did come to light, I would sport a pair, that's for sure.

Pantone on Draught. The Ultimate Color Guide For Beer Lovers, Beertone, Is Now Available for Purchase.

Here's a Pantone-like color guide that is truly useful for Beer enthusiasts. A brilliant idea from Alexander Michelbach and Daniel Eugster of Switzerland, they have captured accurate colors and compiled a color matching system in booklet form, featuring 202 beers from Switzerland and relevant information about them.

The project was successfully funded via their own social media crowdfunding campaign and is now selling the Swiss edition Beertone color charts, which began shipping April 15th.

Below is an ad and a video they created to promote the Beertone concept via social media:

Barbie is in the Pink. Pantone Pink 219C, to be exact. Mattel and Pantone have just released the new doll, designed by Linda Kyaw. The destined-to-be-a-designer's-favorite doll, with a retail price of $56.99, the doll is now available.

PINK IN PANTONE® BARBIE® Doll:
Barbie is all about pink, particularly PMS 219, her signature color -which, believe it or not, is actually owned by Mattel .



Barbie is clad in a pink, fitted “leather” bodice, with two straps and a flower accent made of Pantone color chips:



The glamorous dress celebrates the Mattel Barbie Pink fashion heritage with a long full skirt made of Pantone color chips in PMS 219C:


And the ensemble is topped off with white shoes, complete with pink soles and PMS 219C written on them (for those who are not familiar with Pantone matching system of inks, the "C" stands for 'coated'):


Silvery and black bangles and “silver” hoop earrings complete the look. Pink has never looked so pretty. Doll cannot stand alone. For the adult collector.
