## Description

Pantone Connect is a color tool extension that links your browser workflow to Pantone's color system. When paired with the Pantone Color Match Card on iOS, it calibrates your device camera for accurate color measurement and snaps colors to the nearest Pantone shade. Use it to discover, measure, and share color palettes on the go, with Pantone Colors kept up to date and accessible via sRGB and Hex values, image extraction, and cross-referencing within the Pantone system.

Premium features (currently free during rollout) add CMYK and L*a*b* values, color conversions between spaces, multi-palettes and team collaboration, nuanced color nudges, and color harmonies. Pantone Connect spans mobile, web, and Adobe Creative Cloud extensions, so colors found on the move can be applied back in your studio. Accounts are free to start; Premium accounts can be activated on Pantone's site. For details, review Pantone's End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.

## Review summary

Reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Repeated issues include login/sign-in loops, the app failing to open or crashing, and difficulty using the Color Match/Measure features. Users report device compatibility problems with newer iPhones and a cumbersome UI. Color matching results are inconsistent, sometimes producing wrong shades. Pricing concerns, billing surprises, and a perceived loss of value from Studio drive most complaints, along with a lack of responsive customer support.

### Cons

- Frequent login/sign-in failures and loops across multiple reviews
- App often won’t open, crash, or fail to load
- Incompatibility with newer iPhone models (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro/15 Pro) and lack of timely updates
- Color matching is unreliable or inaccurate (shades off, off-color results)
- Pricing and subscription changes, paywalls, and dissatisfaction with moving from Studio to Connect
