Pantone has unveiled a new tool for quicker shade matching: the Pantone Color Match Card. It is a portable and more affordable option for color searching by using a card similar in size to a standard credit card.

The company—best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), a proprietary color space used in a variety of industries notably graphic design, fashion design, product design, printing, and manufacturing—has its own app, Pantone Connect, that has to be downloaded on a smartphone with the “Measure” feature open. The color matching is then being done by placing the Pantone Color Match Card on top of a solid color. The app takes a few moments to select the closest matching shade of the solid color and will provide the ideal color and several alternative hues.

Watch the tutorial video down below. The Pantone Color Match Card can be purchased on the Pantone website for $15.
