Created for French culinary magazine Fricote, artist Emilie de Griottes created tarts in the form of Pantone color swatches. Arranged on a tart base, colorful foodstuffs match the color of its respective Pantone number. Now your dessert can finally match the drapes.

With help from the Union Square Greenmarket and Photoshop, Malaysian-born artist Tattfoo Tan created the Nature Matching System. By photographing produce and then pinpointing colors using Photoshop’s eyedrop tool, Tan created a sort of Pantone swatch book for nutrition.
But instead of matching spot and process colors like Pantone, the NMS and its 88 colors represent naturally occurring phytochemicals and beneficial nutrients — encouraging us to eat by color.
Get your bake on while keeping your spot colors accurate. Pantone Chip Cookies will make you the hit of your art school bake sale, and chocolate chips are so 2010.
