Pantone Food

2013-03-05T16:38:00.000Z

Graphic designer and illustrator from Minneapolis, US David Schwen has matched up food stuff like matching up colour pallets.

“As a designer, you’re constantly picking color chips and pairing them up with one another. A while back I had an idea of making Pantone chips out of real household objects—sponges, cardboard, and the like. But while I was finishing up a poster design, I had taped two Pantone chips together to see how they looked next to one another. Instantly I thought of how people pair food together, and that was that. Pantone pairings.”
