Textile colour lives on material, not paper. Pantone's fashion standards let you specify and approve colour on cotton and paper for reliable production.
Colour on cotton differs from colour on paper — textile-specific standards close the gap.
Mills and factories worldwide must match the same approved colour reference.
Trend colour has to be specified precisely to reproduce across a full range.
The guides we'd put in your hands first.
TCX standards are printed on cotton for textile-accurate colour; TPG are paper versions for convenience. Fashion, Home + Interiors covers both.
The Formula Guide is optimised for ink on paper. For fabric and material colour, the Fashion, Home + Interiors standards are far more accurate.
Share the same physical standard and reference number so approvals are judged against one agreed target.
