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%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,734,800.PN.&OS=PN/5,734,800&RS=PN/5,734,800 | url-status = dead }}.</ref><ref>{{Citation | title = About us | type = press release | url = http://www.pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=64&idPressRelease=38 | publisher = Pantone | access-date = August 24, 2005 | archive-date = October 13, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071013074616/http://pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=64&idPressRelease=38 | url-status = dead }}.</ref> In addition to custom CMYK inks, Hexachrome added orange and green inks to expand the color gamut, for better color reproduction. It was therefore also known as a CMYKOG process. Hexachrome was discontinued by Pantone in 2008 when Adobe Systems stopped supporting their HexWare plugin software. In 2015 7-color printing system was developed, adding Violet in CMYKOGV, that can cover 90% of 1114 spot colors, while CMYK only about 60%. 1729 new colors were added, marked XGC (extended gamut coated), some colors do not have a number, like Process Blue XGC or Purple XGC.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pantone|title=What Is Extended Gamut?|url=https://www.pantone.com/articles/product-spotlight/what-is-extended-gamut|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=www.pantone.com|language=en}}</ref> Base colors of OGV were new mono-pigment inks, pigments PO34, PG7 and PV23 were used respectively with 58°, 180° and 311° hue angles.

Pantone Color Manager allows for users of the [[Adobe Creative Suite]] and [[Adobe Creative Cloud|Creative Cloud]] as well as other software to import the most up to date information inclusive of [[CIELAB color space|L*a*b*]] numbers as well as CMYK and sRGB representations of all the various palettes (including chromatic adaptation under default D50 or D65 with 2 degree or 10 degree [[Standard illuminant#White points of standard illuminants|observer]] or even any [[ICC profile]]).<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pantone|title=Pantone Software Download Page|url=https://www.pantone.com/customer-service/software-download|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=Pantone|language=en}}</ref> L*a*b* numbers allow for the most accurate representation of color in a device-independent manner, but ideally X-rite InkFormulation is needed to emulate substrates and all 14 base colors of main Pantone system or 7 colors of CMYKOGV. Support is being phased out in favour of Pantone Connect plugin from Adobe Exchange of Creative Cloud.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pantone|title=Pantone Color Manager Software|url=https://www.pantone.com/pantone-color-manager-software|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=Pantone|language=en}}</ref> Adobe Illustrator removed five acb files (Adobe Color Books) of Pantone+ colors in 2023 when Pantone+ was deprecated by Pantone.
