Pantone's Hand-Held Device Allows Designers to Capture
and Match Colors

Call it a digital color card. Pantone LLC has launched Capsure, a small device that allows designers to measure and match colors back to Pantone’s vast library.

According to the company, Capsure can read any surface, material or fabric—including challenging colors embedded within a print or pattern. “Capsure’s advanced image capture technology sets a new standard for accuracy and versatility in a portable device,” said Giovanni Marra, director of corporate marketing at Pantone. “The real power of Capsure is its ability to measure the color of any surface, including small, patterned and multi-colored textures and textiles, which can confound other instruments because of their textural complexity, and quickly match them to more than 8,000 Pantone colors.”
