PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors Color Guide TPG + Dualities Expansion Pack is a compact and highly practical professional color communication tool for designers and product teams who need reliable Pantone FHI color access in the office, at the lab, during supplier meetings or on the go. Designed as a portable guide set for hard home and fashion accessory applications, it presents the full Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors TPG color range in an easy-to-use handheld format.
This professional color guide includes 2,800 market-driven Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors colors, combining the established FHI color system with 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, featuring 77 monochromatic shades. These new colors add a contemporary creative dimension to the Pantone FHI system and support modern product development for interiors, cosmetics, fashion accessories, home goods, leather goods and lifestyle collections.
The TPG format stands for Textile Paper – Green and represents Pantone FHI colors as a lacquer coating on coated paper. This makes the guide especially relevant for hard and coated surface applications, including ceramics, painted surfaces, cosmetics packaging, fashion accessories, leather goods, decorative objects, coated metals, hardware, furniture components and hard home products. The TPG formulation is lead- and chromium-free, offering a safer and more environmentally considerate evolution of Pantone’s former TPX paper format.
One of the major advantages of the Pantone FHI Color Guide TPG is its ability to support color coordination across materials. Pantone TPG colors match back to the Pantone Textile Cotton System TCX, allowing professionals to coordinate color between hard surfaces, textiles, apparel, soft home products, coated surfaces, leather and paint. This is particularly important for brands and manufacturers developing collections where one color story must work across multiple substrates and product categories.
For professional design teams, color consistency across materials is a strategic requirement. A color selected for a leather accessory may need to coordinate with textile trims, packaging surfaces, painted hardware, interior fabrics or cosmetic product finishes. The Pantone FHI Color Guide TPG helps designers and manufacturers work from a shared international color reference, reducing subjective interpretation and supporting more accurate color communication between departments, suppliers and production partners.
The portable fan guide format makes this tool ideal for color inspiration and specification outside the main studio environment. Designers can use the guides during trade fairs, supplier visits, material sourcing, showroom appointments, factory reviews, client presentations and internal product development meetings. Its compact format makes the full Pantone FHI TPG color range easy to access wherever color decisions need to be made.
Each page displays seven Pantone colors, with each color shown in a lacquer stripe coating on paper. The color blocks measure approximately 4 x 2 cm, providing a practical viewing area for fast color comparison and professional evaluation. Each color is displayed with its corresponding Pantone number and name, helping teams communicate selections clearly and efficiently.
The chromatic layout organizes all 2,800 Pantone FHI colors by color family, making it easier to browse related hues, compare tones, identify harmonies and build coordinated palettes. This structured organization supports trend research, seasonal palette development, product color planning and creative direction across fashion, interiors, accessories and hard goods.
For hard home and interior product development, the Pantone FHI Color Guide TPG is a valuable reference for ceramics, decorative objects, furniture finishes, lighting, painted surfaces, coated metals, hardware and home accessories. Designers can use the TPG color guide to visualize color in relation to hard and coated surfaces while maintaining alignment with the broader Pantone FHI color system.
For cosmetics, fashion accessories and leather goods, the guide supports precise color communication for packaging, components, finishes, trims, handbags, footwear, small leather goods and seasonal product ranges. The ability to reference Pantone TPG colors helps brands maintain a consistent visual identity across products, materials and international markets.
For textile, apparel and soft home workflows, the TPG-to-TCX relationship allows designers to coordinate hard and soft materials within the same collection. This enables a more integrated design process for apparel, interiors, accessories, home textiles, lifestyle products and brand environments where color consistency must extend across multiple surfaces.
The inclusion of the Dualities Expansion Pack gives this guide set additional creative relevance for contemporary design. The soft, future-facing New Age Pastels and the refined monochromatic tones of The Shadows can be used independently or combined to create sophisticated color stories for modern living, emotional design, lifestyle products and elevated material concepts.
