Pantone Pairings

David Schwen’s #pantonepairings photos have been making the rounds on Pinterest, but only this morning did I finally track them down at the source. What fun I’ve been missing!

Schwen, as it turns out, is a very talented Instagram user – and Instagram is where you can find all of this pantone-inspired series, along with a plethora of other equally clever work. Here are a few of a favorite pairings. Be sure to check out the full series!

Schwen is not the only artist currently inspired to mix pantone with food (paintone? too much?): photographer Alison Anselot has a gallery filled with photos of perfect tapas centered on fields of their predominant pantone color, and art director Emilie Guelpa created an array of pantone tarts and coordinating tablescapes.
