myPANTONE: New iPhone App for Designers
So we don’t typically plug these kinds of things on DeTnk but this new application for iPhones and iPod Touches has caught our attention as an extremely useful tool for designers in all walks of life.
It’s called myPANTONE and it offers direct access to a variety of PANTONE color libraries from the convenient touch-screens of your phones. These include libraries of pastels, goe, coated and uncoated mattes, and fashion and home selections of paper and cotton colors. From these databases, you can create color palettes and schemes instantly, and of course, once you have created them, myPANTONE allows you to share them through emails that can then be used in Adobe, Quark, and Corel design programs.
In addition, this handy app can also extract colors from photos taken from your iPhone and automatically match them to colors in the libraries as well as generate harmonious color combinations to go along with them. This means that designers no longer have to worry about forgetting what a color looks like. Now, from wherever and whenever inspiration strikes, designers can have the ability to build color palettes and share them with colleagues and clients instantly.
