With the ever-changing work environment, designers need tools that are as flexible as they are – for color efficiency, accuracy, convenience, and efficiency. Designer Shubhika Sharma shares her experiences with one such tool: The Pantone FHI Paper Traveler.

When Papa Don’t Preach Designer and Owner, Shubhika Sharma, discovered the Paper Traveler, she immediately knew how effective it would be to create a palette for their many lines.

“The Paper Traveler opening in an accordion format, allows us to see the entire color universe together. This enhances our interaction with colors at one go. The mask tool is a great help too, whilst the accordion format allows you to view all the colors together at one glance, this tool helps in isolating the hero shade/hue individually. What’s super about the traveler is all the new updated color library and the fact that it fits neatly into my bag like a handy diary!"

By seeing all the ranges of colors, such as all the pink at one time, the designers can easily identify the exact shade they had in mind and share that TPG (Textile Paper Green – and environmentally-friendly pigment) code to their suppliers seamlessly.
