Ecosystem Partnership Engagement

Pantone engaged Global Touch to create ecosystem partnerships with IT companies and their partners to bring their color palettes to applications, desktop monitors, laptop screens, and color printers (personal, local, networked, and production).

Highlights

Global Touch assisted Pantone with identifying and forming a range of key IT technology commercialization partnerships for its universal language of color in applications, desktop monitors, laptops screens, and color printers.  We established a range of technology companies to license Pantones’ technology in order to accurately display colors that met its color matching system (or PMS colors’ palettes), which is in use today by over 10 million designers, manufacturers, and brands around the world.
