Select 3M vs Pantone Connect

« SELECT 3M » the first Digital Colour Specifier for 3M Graphic Films. « SELECT 3M » shows the most important Coloured Graphic Films from 3M in digital form. Exclusive software, especially developed for designers, graphic manufacturers, sign makers, architects, stand builders etc… allows to select any 3M Graphic Film colour and to apply it instantly to a picture. Selected colour shows up on the screen of iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, including its reference number and RGB values (this doesn’t apply to metallic colors). 3M colours can instantly be applied to a picture (text inscription, car, logo etc…) taken by an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or a camera. « SELECT 3M » not only saves professionals and clients considerable time when searching for the right colour among the various 3M Graphic Films. It can even compare and list the nearest color shades by order of proximity. What’s more, « SELECT 3M » App for iPhone can also work with COLORCATCH NANO! COLORCATCH NANO incorporates a revolutionary new technology to accurately measure the color of smooth, structured or patterned surfaces to determine the corresponding color of the preselected swatch. NANO reads and measures 50'000 pixels separately. During reading it eliminates automatically all non-dominant colors such as shade effects and dirty surfaces. 3M Commercial Graphics Division manufactures translucent, opaque and reflective vinyl and polyester graphic films that can be imaged using traditional solvent or UV screen printing, electronic cut graphic decoration, and digital printing.These films are marketed under the 3M™, Scotchcal™, Scotchlite™, Controltac™, Scotchprint™, and Comply™ trademarks .

Disclaimer: Due to technical limitations colours shown on screen may slightly vary from the true colour of the adhesive film. Please obtain a vinyl sample for final colour approval. Colourcards and colourswatches with real product samples are available from 3M distributors.

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.
