I’ll admit that this made my heart skip.

Something something color something? There’s an app for that: MyPANTONE.

From the PANTONE® site:

Who says you can’t take it with you? Not Pantone. Now with the myPANTONE for iPhone and iPod Touch app you have access to a variety of PANTONE® color libraries and the ability to build color palettes and share them with colleagues and clients. myPANTONE offers graphic, web, fashion and apparel designers a way to take PANTONE colors with you wherever you go. Can’t remember what a color looks like, now you can have Portable Color Memory™.

Looks like you can extract colors from any image on your iPhone into a usable, exportable palette. Cross-referencing of color libraries is a cinch, and it can automatically create harmonious color combinations from any color you’ve chosen. It even allows GPS tagging of palettes. OMG I KNOW RIGHT? All-in-all, MyPANTONE seems awfully useful for those who need color matching and quick access to color libraries.

Look. If you’re a designer, you’re always wishing you could extract colors from all sorts of things. Also, if you’re a designer, you have an iPhone. A match made in color chip heaven. (Ten bucks from iTunes.)

(RGB/CMYK <-> PANTONE conversion would be nice. Not completely sure, but I don’t think that’s in there yet. Might be wrong about that.)
