Paint and Coatings Show 2026 2026年11月18日 ~ 19日
Explore X-Rite Pantone’s latest innovative color measurement solutions at Paint & Coatings Show 2026, enhancing color consistency and reducing time-to-market for coatings manufacturers.
Connect Color from Formulation to Production with X-Rite Pantone
Smarter Color Workflows. Better Business Outcomes.
Coatings manufacturers are being asked to develop products faster, control increasingly complex colors and finishes, reduce material waste, and meet growing customer, sustainability, and compliance expectations.
Disconnected formulation, measurement, visual evaluation, and quality processes make those objectives harder to achieve. They can lead to repeated formulation attempts, production adjustments, delayed approvals, unnecessary material use, and limited visibility across laboratories, production facilities, and suppliers.
At Paint & Coatings Show 2026, X-Rite will demonstrate how a connected digital color workflow can bring these processes together. By connecting trusted color data with formulation, measurement, visual assessment, production quality control, and reporting, manufacturers can move from color development to final approval with greater speed, consistency, and confidence.

Featured Solutions for Visualization:
- PANTORA: Capture, manage, view, and digitally exchange material appearance data using the vendor-neutral Appearance Exchange Format, AxF™. PANTORA helps teams evaluate virtual materials and communicate color and appearance earlier in the development process.
Featured Solutions for Formulation:
- Color iMatch: Improve initial match performance, reduce unnecessary formulation attempts, and increase laboratory productivity through intelligent formulation and workflow automation.
- Ci7800 sphere benchtop spectrophotometer: Establish reliable color data in the laboratory with excellent repeatability and inter-instrument agreement, supporting consistent formulation and communication across locations.
Featured Solutions for Production and Quality Control:
- Spectura portable sphere spectrophotometer: Bring connected color measurement closer to incoming inspection and production. Spectura helps teams reduce variability, improve lab-to-floor alignment, and make faster, more consistent color decisions.
- The CiF3200 benchtop spectrophotometer: Perform quality control on small, irregular, reflective, or multicolored samples using imaging-based targeting and small-area measurement capabilities.
- MA-T12 Multi-Angle Handheld Spectrophotometer: Evaluate color, sparkle, and coarseness for effect finishes, helping coatings teams objectively measure and communicate complex appearance characteristics.
- Color iQC connects color specification, measurement, analysis, reporting, and quality control in one digital workflow. Color iQC helps teams monitor color performance, communicate results, and maintain traceable quality records across suppliers and production sites.
- MetaVue VS3200 is non-contact imaging spectrophotometer: Measure small, curved, textured, or irregular samples using non-contact imaging, digital targeting, and flexible virtual apertures.
- ERX145 is an inline measurement spectrophotometer: Monitor color directly in coil-coating laboratory or production environments using non-contact, inline-compatible measurement, helping teams identify variation without removing and measuring physical samples offline.
Featured Solutions for Visual Assessment:
- Judge LED light booth: Conduct consistent visual color assessments under seven configurable light sources. Judge LED is an eco-friendly solution that helps teams evaluate color under defined lighting conditions and identify potential metamerism before final approval.
