Carrot Orange Diary "Orange 151C"
Pantone is the most widely used color-matching system in graphic arts and is recognized throughout the world. Anyone who’s used Photoshop has probably noticed the infinite color palette Pantone offers. Which one should I choose? There are too many! Even so, it’s still the system of choice for professionals who work with colors, such as graphic designers, artists and painters. The advantage of this system is that each of the samples has a code and once you choose a sample you can recreate the exact shade of color.
Pantone codes are so much a part of our lives that even the flags of certain countries such as Canada, South Korea, or Scotland are defined by Pantone codes. London’s red buses have their own code, number 485, which has been reproduced in Pantone’s famous W2 mugs. In Pantone’s world, even love has a code! It’s 213C, which is none other than an explosive shade of pink.
The korean agency that created the Eat notebook collection, 122kcal Design Studio, has used provocative colors to dye their diaries’ covers: banana yellow, sea blue, tea green, or latte brown. Ready to eat! The result are monochromatic diaries that anyone who works with classic Pantone colors on a daily basis will love.
