Pantone’s Color(s) of 2021!

Each year we look forward to creating Pantone’s Color of the Year and this year was no exception!

And now it’s official…Pantone’s 2021 Color of the Year is…actually TWO colours!

ULTIMATE GRAY and ILLUMINATING bring together a marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting! Just what we all need right now…

Our Techncial Service team have matched both colours in a matter of minutes using our PureTone UV flexo ink system – ULTIMATE GRAY to a dE2000 of 0.5 and ILLUMINATING with our PureTone food packaging compliant (FPC) UV flexo inks to a dE2000 of just 0.3.

Both were printed on gloss white PP with a standard 5 vol anilox. With InkFormulation Software from X-Rite and our FlexiProof pre-press proofing from RKPrintCoat Instruments Ltd.

If you’re a UV flexo label or package printer and want to take charge of YOUR colour 24/7, get in touch to find out how our PureTone and PureTone FPC ink system provides a total colour management solution.
