what pantone color guide tpx has the names of the color, example pearl blue, plus code of color
I reviewed various sources, including online articles, Reddit discussions, and a Stack Exchange post to gather information on Pantone TPX color guides that include color names and codes. The majority of the sources discussed the Pantone TPX color guide FGP200 for fashion, home, and interiors, along with its use in the textile industry. There was a consensus that TPX colors are used primarily for textiles and that Pantone colors can be found in both TCX and TPX guides. Some sources provided specific examples of TPX colors, but none provided a comprehensive list of all TPX color names and codes. Overall, the sources were related to the original query, but the level of detail provided varied.

"The Real Pantone Workaround"
- Adobe will no longer feature Pantone as standard from future updates as of March 2022.
- Two methods discussed in the comments section of the webpage include copying PANTONE files and placing them into a specific folder or creating custom swatches named after the PMS code and entering the CMYK value.
- Another method mentioned suggests opening the desired Pantone color book and selecting all the colors to populate the Swatches panel with the library of colors. This can be saved as a document named after the Swatch library.
- Users discuss different ways to backup PANTONE swatches from their computers, including copying and backing up .acb files.
- One user suggests using other color libraries that can be accessed through Adobe apps like Toyo.
- Another user suggests using HSL or LAB color formats for on-screen color previews instead of CMYK, as the latter could potentially cause color distortions.
- An additional user suggests that the Pantone library files already on one’s computer may still work with Adobe apps even after the changes are made.
- A number of users mention using spots for their design work and note that preserving the Pantone swatches is crucial to their workflow, suggesting that Adobe may be making a mistake by removing them.
- Some users express frustration with the changes, noting that Pantone had been a standard in Adobe apps for years, and mentioning other apps like Serif that still have Pantone libraries available.
- One user mentions that they have downloaded and tested Pantone Connect, which they found to be a little clunky and big.
- Other users mention different methods for creating custom swatches with Pantone colors, such as renaming existing swatches or creating new swatches from scratch.
- Some users discuss the potential legal issues of copying and backing up Pantone swatch files without permission.
- One user provides a link to a backup of the Pantone swatch files.
- There is speculation among users about whether the existing swatch format will continue to be supported in the future and what changes Adobe might make to color standards in the future.
- Users sometimes describe their own personal experiences with Pantone and their work processes that involve Pantone swatches.

- One way to find the equivalent of a TPX in Pantone is to use a Solid Coated Pantone color book and compare it with a TPX swatch book, ideally a printed one
- The Pantone Fashion + Home Paper can be checked to find the Solid Coated Pantone color book manually online in the cross libraries
- A Pantone color converter for cross libraries is provided on the webpage, the link to which is given

"Pantone TPX???"
- A retail client in the housewares business has provided a designer with Pantone TPX chips to use for new packaging. The designer wants to find the CMYK breakdowns for the colors but can’t find them on the Pantone website and can’t load the TPX swatches in InDesign.
- A user responds that TPX codes are typically used with textiles and there isn’t a strict digital conversion for them. They suggest matching the colors with a swatch from the PMS system, which is pure ink on paper. Alternatively, the client could match their colors to the PMS system, which is the industry standard for design work.
- Another user suggests using Pantone’s online cross-reference tool at https://www.pantone.com/x-ref to help with converting the colors.
- The designer references a specific TPX color code, Pantone 17-1929 TPX, which is listed on the Pantone website along with a visual representation of the color.
- The Pantone color finder tool on the website allows users to search for colors by code or name and provides the corresponding color information, including RGB, CMYK, and HEX values. However, the color finder does not have names for TPX colors.
- Users also suggest using external tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to convert the Pantone TPX colors into CMYK or RGB values.
- The Pantone website offers a range of color products, including physical color guides, digital color libraries, and custom color services for specific industries like automotive or plastics.
- The website provides information on the history and application of the Pantone Matching System (PMS), which was created in the 1960s as a standardized color matching system for printers and designers.
- The PMS system uses a numerical code to identify each color, with suffixes indicating the type of color (e.g., C for coated paper, U for uncoated paper, M for matte paper). PMS colors are mixed using pre-formulated ink recipes for consistency.
- The Pantone website offers several resources for designers and industry professionals, including articles on color trends, educational materials on color theory and terminology, and a community forum for discussion and sharing.
- The website also provides information on Pantone’s color of the year, which is chosen annually as a “reflection of what people are looking for, what they feel they need that color can help to answer.”
- Pantone has over 1,800 colors in its PMS system, and continues to add and update colors based on

"https://www.textileblog.com/pantone-color-guide-in-textile-industry/"
- Pantone is a standard ‘Color Matching System’ where a code number is used to identify each color.
- The Pantone Color Guide is used in the textile industry for shade matching with dyed samples after fabric coloration process.
- PANTONE was founded in 1962, and in 1963, they invented the first color matching system “PANTONE”.
- There are mainly two types of Pantone Guides- TCX & TPX.
- TCX stands for “Textile Cotton eXtend,” and TPX stands for “Textile Paper eXtend”.
- Both are designed from the Pantone Textile Color System.
- Both TCX and TPX are Pantone color standards, but they are designed separately for different purposes.
- TPX is much cheaper than the TCX.
- The TPX Pantone book has recently been updated to the TPG Pantone book.
- TPX & TPG colors are the same, but the TPG is much more eco-friendly. (Textile Paper Green – All lead and chromium content removed from TPX products for eco-friendly update)
- TCX is a complete cotton swatch that is much more expensive because it is a pure “Cotton Swatch” in each individual color.
- The Pantone number consists of 6 digits, the first two digits of which express the Lightness of the color, the middle two digits represent the Hue, and the last two digits represent Chroma.
- The TPX Pantone book is made of “Paper Swatch” instead of cotton swatch, and each swatch is colored in a unique color.
- There is a difference between the shades of TCX and TPX in the same color code, although TPX and TCX are Pantone color standards.
- In this case TPX is 15% lighter than TCX or TCX is 15% deeper than TPX.
- PANTONE 19-4052 TCX stands for Classic Blue.
- The Pantone guide plays an important role in the textile industry in fabric dyeing and printing and also for shade matching.
- The significance of the Pantone number reflects some of the characteristics of the colorant.
- There are three color attributes, namely: Hue, Value, and Chroma.
-
The ranges of Lightness, Hue, and Chroma are as follows:
- Lightness: Minimum- 11 & Maximum- 19
- Hue: Minimum- 1 & Maximum- 64
