NEW COLORS AND OLD GUIDES MEAN YOU COULD BE MISSING OUT. FIND YOUR GUIDE BELOW TO SEE IF YOU’RE MISSING COLORS:
If you haven’t upgraded your Pantone Guides and Books for several years, your colors are no longer meeting full market demand nor are they reliably accurate.
AGING EFFECTS: IS MY COLOR THE RIGHT COLOR?
Pantone guides and books are produced using the highest manufacturing standards. In each edition, we ensure:
- Highly-regulated ink formula consistency
- Printed on the most popular commercial-grade 100 lb and 80 lb text weight stocks
- Carefully monitored for imperfections during the production process
However, our guides will not last forever. Due to handling, fading, and aging, your colors will appear inaccurate over time. That’s why we recommend replacing your guides every 12 months, depending on your usage case and storage habits:
- Handling = Smearing and removing pigment due to natural oils on fingertips
- Pages rubbing together = Scratching or removing pigment
- Light exposure = Fading
- Paper aging = Yellowing effects
- Ambient moisture = Accelerating paper aging
Pantone recommends replacing guides and books every 12 months, as normal usage and exposure will render your colors inaccurate
