Design studios and ad agencies around the world have shut their doors, meaning designers and creatives are now rapidly adjusting to the realities of working from home. Those whose creativity is the crux to their livelihood are trying to find ways to curb the anxious nerves, home office boredom and spark the artistic spirit.
If that's you and you're like us, you are always on the lookout for new ways to boost your creativity. But how do you keep your mind fresh with wonder and curiosity when you’re stuck at home and unable to travel to your favourite places for creative inspiration? Just because you can’t go to Paris for inspiration, doesn’t mean you can’t get lost in dreamy editorial photoshoots in your favourite magazines. Soak up the wow visuals, fancy cafes and decorum and then turn to Pantone guides for colour palette inspiration.
Portable, hand-held guides that are perfect for any design challenge, no matter where you are.
Now is a great time to look back, reflect and visualise what you want to create next.
Art or fashion magazines are great for inspiration and can help infuse something new and fresh in your designs, especially in terms of colour. Perhaps you spotted colours, shapes or patterns you’d like to explore on paper? Bridging the gap between solid, process and web colour reproduction, the
Pantone Color Bridge is the most versatile tool for graphic and digital designers, and it’s the only tool you need to compare and select colours in spot vs. CMYK print. The HTML and RGB values equivalents are also given, for digital applications.

Pantone is the universal language of colour
That feeling when you’re on a video call and your client asks for “more blue, but just not too blue”. How do you make sure you’re both on the same page when you can’t meet your clients face-to-face? Use the
Formula Guide to take the guesswork out of colour – it’s chromatically organised so you can compare all the blues at once. If you choose a Pantone colour together with your client, you will know you’ll be seeing eye to eye, and so will everyone else you depend on to reproduce that same colour.
It’s more important than ever to stay design fit. Actively find a way to use your talent and experiment with different colours and tones.
Metallic colours like the ones found in the
Pantone Metallics guide can add that pop and sophistication to your designs. For designs that stand out, get inspired by the colours found in the
