Pantone Desktop Wallpaper

By Cerentha Harris

Pantone, the company that brought the Pantone Matching System to designers, has become something of a cultural icon, and they have released a series of wallpapers to match their Pantone Plus line. There are a total of 8 wallpapers over at Pantone’s site, though only six are actual swatches, ranging from the 2010 color of the year Turquoise to a series of bright hues perfect for summer. Grab them for iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC here in resolutions 320 x 480 to 1920 x 1200.

Of course all those colors make horrible wallpapers for designers as they will skew how you perceive colors in your applications. Neutral gray is just about the best, but unsaturated or grayscale images are a good substitute.

Great wallpapers!
What is that plug-in showing current song (on the screen shot of the wallpaper)?
