Color-Picking Paint Apps

The 'Pantone Studio' App Digitally Breaks Down Real-World Colors

— August 2, 2016 — Tech
The eyedropper tool in software programs like Adobe Photoshop is a convenient way to grab colors from the digital world, so paint company Pantone has decided to bring that tool into the real world with its 'Pantone Studio' app. The app, built for interior designers, lets users take photos and then proceeds to dissect their color breakdown.

The color picker delivers colors in RGB, CMYK, and Hex readouts. By translating real-world colors into these digital readouts, Pantone Studio can send that info to the Adobe suite, including Photoshop, for use in a digital design project.

Beyond simply analyzing colors, the app provides active design advice. It will suggest color harmonies to go with the colors that a user picked, and it can create a color palette based on multiple colors in an image.
Trend Themes
1. Color-analysis Apps - Developing apps that digitally analyze real-world colors for practical use in design projects provides opportunities for innovative color matching and design advice services.
2. Digital-real World Integration - Integration of digital technology, such as digital color readouts, into real-world applications for practical applications in the design industry offers a unique and innovative approach.
3. Personalized Design Apps - Apps that offer personalized color matching and design advice tailored to individual preferences and styles, such as the 'Pantone Studio' app, offer an opportunity to revolutionize the interior design industry.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Apps that provide personalized color analysis and design advice offer the interior design industry an opportunity to enhance customer experience and improve project outcomes.
2. Digital Design Software - Incorporating innovative color-translation features, such as those found in 'Pantone Studio,' into digital design software such as Adobe offers an opportunity to revolutionize the design industry.
3. Paint and Color Companies - Investing in the development of color-analysis and design-advice apps, such as 'Pantone Studio,' offers an opportunity for paint and color companies to expand their services and reach a wider consumer base.
