For those who aren't in the design / creative / marketing business, you may not know what PANTONE is. PANTONE LLC is the world-renowned authority on color and the accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The PANTONE® name is known worldwide as the standard language for color communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer.
This December, even Barbie is doing it!
Pink has always been Barbie's colour and innovative designer Linda Kyaw has incorporated this bright and unforgettable shade of pink into Barbie's wardrobe!
A whirl of Pantone color tags swirl around Barbie doll to create the asymmetrical skirt leading up to the faux-leather bodice. Each tag is labeled for Barbie®’s signature color — 219C. According to Kyaw, “Pink, being one of the most important elements of the Barbie brand, has been used in almost every imaginable way. The challenge was to interpret the shade with an unexpected twist, and since Pantone is to color what I believe Barbie is to fashion, combining the best of both was the first step.”
