Pantone Color Match Card | Pantone Australia

Overview of Pantone's Colour Match Card

Works with Pantone Connect for Android and iOS

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

Use the Color Card with the Pantone Connect mobile app to capture a colour, search for the best match, and save your chosen Pantone Color 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 color match than traditional color extraction from an image.
• Requires a compatible mobile device, a well-lit environment, a flat single-color surface, and a clean camera lens for best results.
• Color is 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 color reference will impact results.
• For the most accurate color matching, consider a spectrophotometer such as a Pantone Capsure,i1Studio, or i1Pro3 device.
