Disappointing
I color correct images and materials for artwork. I’d hoped this app would speed up my workflow and increase my accuracy when matching materials to their Pantone equivalents.
I purchased the color card and measured a few samples under 5K lighting with my iPhone 13 Pro—the results were way off.
I guess there is reason that this app isn’t being updated to support newer devices. Not recommended.c5nest
‘Free’ would be expensive
Poorly implemented, often offline or hard to login to. Equivalent plug-ins for the Adobe apps are equally bad. On top of that, zero customer support via chat or phone. Email is an option, if you can wait a day or two for a reply. Zero competition generates poor quality.AllApps4Work
If I could give it less I would
Great job to Pantone for making us pay for something that was free. Additionally, they've also taken a wonderfully simple interface which has existed for years and turned it into a plugin that is so confusing and cumbersome that it's maddening. Not sure which is more cumbersome, the interface itself or the fact that it keeps logging me out so I have to log back in.
I just want to scroll through the Pantone colors like I used to do. I want to see the PMS number of a color, pick it and use it.
This is a classic example of when a company tries to add additional features to justify a ridiculous price. This is by far the worst interface I've seen in a long time.Mark G from Charlotte

Description of Pantone Connect
The essential Pantone Color iOS app for designers and color experts! Pantone Connect streamlines the color inspiration to design process, making it easy for you to measure and match physical materials to Pantone Color, share your inspirational color palettes to social media, and navigate any updated Pantone Color System to find the perfect hue while on the go.
When paired with the Color Match Card from Pantone, the app calibrates your iOS device's camera for color measurement, and captured colors are quickly matched to their nearest Pantone Color more accurately than extracting color from a photo. Be sure to check that your iOS device is compatible with Color Match Card before you order one. While most device models are compatible, we are still in the process of adding some iOS devices to our list.
The app is part of the new Pantone Connect digital color platform for mobile, web, and Adobe Creative Cloud (Extension), meaning colors discovered while on the go can be easily applied to design files when you're back in your studio.
The following features will remain free for everyone on mobile and web:
- All Pantone Colors, always up to date
- sRGB and Hex values for all colors
- Measurement with the Pantone Color Match Card
- Color extraction from images
- Palette+image sharing to social media
- Color library search, navigation, sorting, and filtering
- Pantone system cross referencing (X-Ref)
- Trending color palettes from Pantone
Premium features for mobile and tablet are also currently free to use, and will include:
- CMYK and L*a*b* values for all colors
- Convert to Pantone from sRGB, Hex, L*a*b*, and CMYK values
- Saving more than 1 palettes and team palette collaboration
- Nuance color to nearby hues
- Color harmonies
Accounts:
Currently, Pantone Connect is completely free to use, including all Premium features, while we actively develop and improve this platform. Free accounts can be created in-app. Premium accounts can be activated on Pantone's website.
Other Pantone App Compatibility:
Pantone Connect accounts do not work with the Pantone Studio for iOS app or vice versa, and users who pay for Pantone Studio access will not receive access to Pantone Connect.
