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.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,734,800.PN.&OS=PN/5,734,800&RS=PN/5,734,800 | publisher = PTO | place = US | title = Patent | id = 5734800 | access-date = April 12, 2006 | archive-date = February 15, 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170215031513/http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO and we're living in a world where that kind of creative innovation is greatly admired.
