More great Pantone concepts, this one is designed and sent in by Samy Halim, and is for a line of home paints. I love the square can! More images after the jump.

Very much in line with the Pantone makeup recently featured! If only these things existed. :)

Meh, nothing original or groundbreaking just taking the Pantone Coloring system to a different medium. It's been done before and will be done again.

I think its simplicity is its best point. I'm actually surprised there's no Pantone Paints (Paintone?) on the market by now. I'd buy them.

[seen it before too]

well-executed, but seen it before. pantone has been done to death.

Pleeeeeaaaaase...

Failed designers should STOP imagining "concepts" for Apple or Pantone... It's just uninteresting (for the designer as well as for the reader).Go ahead, create a really ORIGINAL product if you can...

God... Get over pantone! I think the worst part is when you see some of those product in real life and they are not even accurate to their pantone equivalent. I saw a pantone mug that was many shade off from the color is very own label showed! It's been done to death, it doesn't make painting fun or refreshed or exciting. At best it looks clean and simple.

if you follow Mark's link above, pantone home paints DO exist!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think "pantone-ising anything" has been overdone. The can isn't even very interesting or anything in term of new /ease of use.

Many home paints already have their own colour matching systems. I think Pantone is best kept for print purposes. I agree with most of you, this concept has been done to death.

two PANTONE concept on 2 pages of post.Stop this stupid vision of design, and start thinking of something usefull. What your concept means if your take pantone brand off??I think nothing.

Well, asking for something "NEW" each and every time is definitely pointless, but, indeed, trendy; things (and, unfortunately, people too) become obsolete with the speed of light. We consume far too much and far too fast, and NOT everything is a hamburger.Pantone is far from pretending they reinvent the wheel, but what they intend to do is create a colour-use discipline, that, indeed, stretches... beyond printing.
