PANTONE - Newsletter

For our color lovers, Pantone launches a newsletter for your viewing and pleasure. I especially appreciate the "White Hot" article; the absence of color associated with white canvas & fresh beginnings . . . I imagine that many of us can relate to this simile.

Welcome to TONES, the free quarterly newsletter from Pantone dedicated to color in its every expression: art and design, fashion and furnishings, culture and nature.

The importance of color in our daily lives cannot be over-stated. Color, with its unique ability to engage the eye, serves as a catalyst for emotion, creating magic and atmosphere. Color can relax you, leave you feeling contemplative, or excite, inciting feelings of energy and joy.

In the TONES newsletter you will track the latest color trends influencing the world of design, discover the many moods and meanings of colors, and find out what drives today’s leading color decision makers.

If you work or play with color – or simply love color for its own sake – you’ll want to take a closer look at TONES. Read it online now, and register to receive future issues directly. Please feel free to send feedback or suggestions to tones@pantone.com. We’d love to hear what you think and what you might like to read in future issues of Tones.
