PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors Color Specifier & Guide TPG + Dualities Expansion Pack is a versatile professional color reference system designed for designers and product teams who need to communicate color accurately across both hard and soft goods. Combining a portable Color Guide with a desktop Color Specifier containing removable chips, this bundle supports color inspiration, color specification, palette development, mood boards, client presentations, supplier communication and production workflows.
The Pantone FHI TPG system presents colors as a lacquer coating on paper, making it especially relevant for hard home goods, ceramics, coated surfaces, leather, metal, paint, cosmetics, fashion accessories and interior product applications. TPG stands for Textile Paper – Green, indicating Pantone’s lead- and chromium-free formulation of the former TPX lacquer coatings. This makes the system a safer and more environmentally considerate color reference for modern design and manufacturing workflows.
This professional set provides access to 2,800 Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors colors, including 175 new colors from the Dualities Expansion Pack. The Dualities collection is divided into two curated palettes: New Age Pastels, featuring 98 refined pastel colors, and The Shadows, offering 77 monochromatic shades. These new colors expand the creative range of the Pantone FHI system and reflect the nuanced needs of contemporary living, product design, interiors, fashion and lifestyle markets.
For professional color workflows, the ability to coordinate color across different materials is essential. Pantone TPG colors correspond to the Pantone Textile Cotton System TCX, helping teams coordinate color between textiles, paints, coated surfaces, leather, metal and other material applications. This connection makes the Color Specifier & Guide Set highly valuable for brands developing products across multiple categories, where the same color story may need to translate across fabric, hard goods, accessories, finishes and packaging-related surfaces.
The included FHI Color Guide functions as a portable color inspiration and reference tool. It allows designers to review Pantone TPG colors during meetings, supplier visits, client presentations, material research, showroom work and on-the-go development sessions. The guide features seven Pantone colors per page and displays colors with both name and number, helping professionals communicate clearly and quickly with internal teams and external partners.
The Color Specifier is designed for desktop use and provides removable perforated chips for sharing and specifying exact color selections. Each color is displayed with six tear-away 1.5 cm x 1,5 cm chips, making it easy to build project palettes, assemble mood boards, attach color references to documents, communicate specifications to suppliers or support production evaluation. The three-sided color bleed on the removable chips supports more precise visual assessment, especially when evaluating color edges and comparing shades.
This combination of portable reference and removable desktop chips makes the Pantone FHI Color Specifier & Guide Set highly practical for both creative and technical workflows. Designers can use the guide for inspiration and quick color review, then use the specifier to remove and share exact color chips for project communication. This supports a smooth transition from concept development to specification, approval and production.
The improved chromatic layout organizes all Pantone FHI colors by color family, allowing professionals to navigate the system efficiently and compare related tones with greater clarity. This structured arrangement supports palette development, color harmony exploration, seasonal direction, material coordination and trend-based product planning. For teams working under time pressure, a logical and complete color reference helps reduce delays and improve decision-making.
In interior design and hard home product development, the TPG format is particularly useful for visualizing color on non-textile surfaces. Designers working with ceramics, furniture, decorative objects, lighting, hardware, coated metals, plastics-inspired finishes, leather goods and painted surfaces can use the TPG system to evaluate and specify colors in a format aligned with hard surface applications.
For fashion accessories, cosmetics and lifestyle products, the Color Specifier & Guide Set supports color consistency across materials such as leather, coated components, decorative finishes, packaging surfaces and textile trims. This is especially important for brands that need to maintain a cohesive visual identity across collections, product lines and international markets.
For textile and apparel workflows, the ability to match FHI TPG colors back to the Pantone Textile Cotton System helps designers coordinate hard and soft surfaces within one broader design language. This supports coordinated collections across apparel, accessories, interiors, soft home, trims, footwear, bags and lifestyle products.
The Pantone FHI Color Specifier & Guide TPG is also highly effective for client and supplier communication. In global production environments, subjective color descriptions can lead to costly misunderstandings, repeated sampling and delayed approvals. A standardized Pantone color reference system helps all stakeholders work from the same color language, improving accuracy and reducing risk from early concept development through final production.
The Dualities Expansion Pack adds contemporary creative relevance to the system. The New Age Pastels and The Shadows palettes can be used independently or combined to build refined color stories with balance, softness, depth and monochromatic sophistication. These colors are especially suited to modern interiors, lifestyle products, fashion accessories, cosmetics, home goods and products designed for contemporary living.
