“The Pantone Color Institute reveal of the Pantone Color of the
Year 2020 demonstrates the role color plays in shaping industry
trends, and we have seen how the right color helps brands
differentiate themselves and drive customer engagement,” said Kim
Dixon, executive vice president and chief operating officer, FedEx
Office. “Our state-of-the art color management technology provides
accuracy, quality and consistency of color printing every time,
enabling consumers to express themselves and businesses to build a
strong and highly recognizable brand.”
For 21 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product
development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries,
including fashion, home furnishings and industrial design, as well
as product packaging and graphic design.
“Color helps us to visually express and affect ideas and
emotions. Designers and brands should feel inspired to use color to
engage and connect with their audiences,” said Laurie Pressman,
vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. “The way color is
brought to life is critically important to the integrity of the
story that’s being told. From a suite of collateral and storefront
signage for a new business to helping the Pantone Color Institute
unveil the Pantone Color of the Year for 2020, FedEx Office’s color
matching technology using the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® is a trusted
source to achieve the right color, every time,” added Pressman.
