A heartfelt peach hue whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness. X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC announced that the official spectral colour value for this Pantone Color of the Year 2024 is available in PantoneLIVE™, a cloud-based digital colour standard ecosystem.
As a result, consumer product companies can easily incorporate PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz into their digital workflows to accelerate the design to manufacturing process. ‘Visually arresting and inviting, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a nurturing peach tone that inspires us to instinctively want to reach out and touch,’ said Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. ‘Presenting a fresh approach to a new softness, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is an enveloping peach hue that awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth.’
‘Digitising colour helps brands cut production time in half by getting to approved colour faster and more efficiently while supporting sustainability efforts,’ said Matthew Adby, Product Management Director, X-Rite. ‘Using PantoneLIVE as part of a digital colour workflow, brands can immediately start designing, communicating colour standards, prototyping, and producing PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz across textiles, paint and coatings, and plastics.’
PantoneLIVE Production for Plastic, Coatings, and Textile makes it easy for brands, suppliers and manufacturing teams to immediately leverage the spectral data for PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz and other colours found in the Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors (FHI) System and for the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for plastics and coatings.
Using the Textile Color Hub, brands can select a colour from the PantoneLIVE library or measure physical samples using a spectrophotometer to create a Colour Specification Document that includes spectral data, tolerances, and illuminant requirements. Suppliers can immediately begin colour formulation and compare the results with the specified colour. Suppliers then submit the best result through Textile Colour Hub for digital approval by the brand.
‘PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz lends itself to textured materials you want to touch,’ continued Adby. ‘However, a material’s texture and feel can significantly impact a final product’s colour and appearance. X-Rite solutions help brands go beyond spectral data to digitise material appearance characteristics such as texture, weave and shine. This enables companies to create accurate 3D renderings and digital prototypes to assess and control colour virtually before producing physical samples.’
