Pantone just released a brand new color matching system, touted as a “complement” to the PMS system they’ve used for 45 years. Once Adobe gives it the OK, PMS colors will be out the window. This has been in the works for about 4 years, so it predates the X-Rite buyout.
Supposedly the new numbering system is much more logical and expandable. It even comes with it’s own software now — even those who just opt for the standard fan books. Adobe hasn’t yet embraced the new system, but I can’t see why that won’t happen eventually.
At present, I am sure your trusty ol’ Pantone PMS color guide swatch books won’t be going anywhere fast, but it’s definitely worth a read to learn a bit more about where printing and color matching will be heading in the near future.
There’s a nice overview of the Pantone Goe system at Macworld, and an in-depth article on Goe as well as the Pantone & X-Rite merger at CreativePro.
