==Pantone Goe System==
On September 5, 2007, Pantone introduced the Goe System.<ref name="goesystem">{{Citation|title=Pantone Unveils Goe System|url=http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20494&ca=10|type=press release|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218005311/http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20494&ca=10|quote=Over 2,000 new Pantone colors to inspire, explore and express the color of ideas|access-date=September 5, 2007|archive-date=February 18, 2017}}.</ref> Goe consisted of 2058 new colors in a new matching and numbering system. In addition to the standard swatch books (now called the GoeGuide), the new system also included adhesive-backed GoeSticks, interactive software, tools, and an online community where users were able to share color swatches and information.

The Goe system was streamlined to use fewer base colors (ten, plus clear coating for reflections, only 4 base colors were new) and accommodate many technical challenges in reproducing colors on a press.<ref name="patone2">{{Citation|title=Pantone 2.0: After 45 Years, the Sequel to PMS|date=September 5, 2007|url=https://creativepro.com/pantone-2-0-after-45-years-the-sequel-to-pms-/|publisher=Creative Pro}}.</ref>

The Pantone Goe system was discontinued in November 2013, but 4 new base colors were added into PMS and some of new colors too, though those 4 base colors are harder to purchase.<ref name="pantone.com"/>

A logo commissioned by the Government of Singapore to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the nation's independence. The usage instructions for the logo described it as being in Pantone Red 032 and White.[3]

In mid-2006 Pantone, partnering with Vermont-based Fine Paints of Europe, introduced a new line of interior and exterior paints. The color palette uses Pantone's color research and trending and has more than 3,000 colors.

In November 2015, Pantone partnered with Redland London to create a collection of bags inspired from Pantone's authority on color.

Pantone also produced Hexachrome, a patented six-color printing system.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Pantone has said that color "has always been an integral part of how a culture expresses the attitudes and emotions of the times."[4]

Intellectual property

Pantone asserts that their lists of color numbers and pigment values are the intellectual property of Pantone and free use of the list is not allowed.[5] This is frequently held as a reason Pantone colors cannot be supported in open-source software and are not often found in low-cost proprietary software.[6] Pantone has been accused of "being intentionally unclear" about its exact legal claims, but it is acknowledged that "the simplest claim would be trademark misappropriation or dilution towards someone who produced a color palette marketed as compatible with Pantone's".[6]

By contrast, intellectual property scholar Aaron Perzanowski claims that Pantone has no intellectual property rights over individual colors or color libraries.[7]
