Pantone introduces new Goe System

Submitted by JimD on Fri, 2007-09-07 12:44.

Only a few weeks after the announcement that it had been acquired for $180 million by X-Rite, the color mavens at Pantone have announced a major update to the industry-standard Pantone Matching System, the Pantone Goe System.

The Goe System was created to offer designers and printers a simpler, more complete color process from start to finish. The Goe System offers nearly double the amount of spot colors as the current PMS system, as well as software similar to Adobe Kuler to help you find the right color combinations. You can read more about the Pantone Goe System here.

Lame software

The software that comes with it looks way behind kuler, but I could be wrong as I haven't used it yet.

Off topic but...

I never even heard of Kuler. It's awesome! I will definitely be adding that as a bookmark.

I don't have time to read every single article I come across. Was hoping someone could provide that small bit of information instead of sarcasm, please.

Quark, HP, Xerox and a dozen or two RIP vendors have all verbally committed to putting the new system into their wares. Adobe hasn't made any comments as of yet, but the Goe System hasn't even gone on sale yet, so there's really nothing to do for Adobe yet.
