The Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors Cotton Chip Set + Dualities Expansion Pack is a versatile professional color reference system designed for creative and industrial workflows where accurate textile color communication is essential. As one of Pantone’s most widely used textile tools, the Cotton Chip Set allows professionals to select, compare, remove and share Pantone FHI colors in a practical cotton chip format.
For fashion designers, textile colorists, interior designers, product developers, sourcing teams, manufacturers and brand managers, color accuracy is a critical part of the design and production process. A color selected during creative development must be communicated clearly across teams, suppliers, mills, dye houses, clients and production partners. The Pantone Cotton Chip Set supports this process by providing an internationally recognized color reference system that helps reduce misinterpretation, improve color matching and maintain consistency across global supply chains.
This professional three-volume desktop reference includes all 2,800 Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors colors on cotton, combining the established FHI color system with 175 new colors from the Dualities Expansion Pack. The Dualities collection is divided into two refined contemporary palettes: New Age Pastels, featuring 98 pastel colors, and The Shadows, featuring 77 monochromatic shades. These new colors expand the creative possibilities of the Pantone FHI system and respond to the changing needs of modern fashion, interiors, home products and lifestyle design.
The Pantone Cotton Chip Set is especially valuable because it presents color directly on cotton fabric. Unlike printed color references, cotton chips allow professionals to evaluate color on a textile substrate, making the system highly relevant for apparel, soft goods, interiors, upholstery, bedding, decorative textiles and home collections. This helps designers and color teams make more realistic color decisions for products where fabric appearance, dye behavior, texture and light interaction influence the final result.
Each removable cotton chip measures 2.54 x 2.54 cm, or 1 x 1 inch, providing a practical format for everyday professional use. The chips can be removed from the set and used to build color palettes, compare tones, assemble mood boards, support client presentations or communicate exact color references to suppliers and manufacturers. This removable chip format makes the Cotton Chip Set an efficient tool for collaborative creative development, internal color communication and color verification.
The set is organized in an improved chromatic layout by color family, helping professionals navigate the full Pantone FHI color library with greater speed and clarity. Colors are arranged in chromatic order, while the numeric index provides quick location of each color. This structure supports efficient color selection, palette development and comparison across related tones, making it easier to identify harmonies, contrasts and subtle color variations.
For fashion and apparel teams, the Pantone FHI Cotton Chip Set supports seasonal collection development, textile color specification, fabric sourcing, lab dip communication and production preparation. Designers can work with physical cotton chips to define color stories, coordinate materials and communicate exact Pantone textile colors to vendors and manufacturers.
For interior design, soft home and lifestyle product development, the Cotton Chip Set is equally valuable. It supports color planning for upholstery, bedding, curtains, decorative textiles, home accessories, hospitality environments and coordinated interior collections. The removable cotton chips make it easy to present color concepts to clients, compare colors with materials and develop refined color palettes for residential, commercial and hospitality projects.
The Cotton Chip Set also plays an important role in brand and product development. When color must remain consistent across different products, departments, suppliers and markets, standardized professional color tools are essential. Pantone FHI colors provide a shared color language that helps brands maintain visual consistency, support product quality and reduce errors caused by subjective color interpretation.
All Pantone colors on cotton are formulated for achievability and color fastness, supporting realistic expectations for textile production. Each color chip corresponds to a Pantone FHI Textile Cotton System TCX Standard Swatch Card, providing a link to the recognized standard for accurate textile color communication and production reference.
The three-volume desktop format offers a practical balance between comprehensive color access and professional usability. Housed in collector’s item packaging, the Pantone FHI Cotton Chip Set provides a structured, accessible and portable reference for design studios, color departments, sourcing offices, textile libraries and product development teams.
Beyond its technical role, the Cotton Chip Set is also a powerful creative tool. Designers use the full Pantone color library to explore seasonal concepts, develop mood boards, define trend directions, build product palettes and support creative decision-making across fashion, interiors and lifestyle industries. The addition of the Dualities Expansion Pack brings a fresh and contemporary color dimension to the system, with refined pastels and sophisticated monochromatic tones suited to modern living and evolving consumer preferences.
