The Pantone Guy- Special Screening (Work In Progress)

Join us for an inspiring journey into the world of color and innovation with a special screening of The Pantone Guy. This captivating documentary unveils the untold story of Larry Herbert, the visionary behind the Pantone Matching System—a revolutionary invention that transformed how the world sees, communicates, and creates with color.

At 95, Larry shares his firsthand account of growing up in Depression-era Brooklyn, navigating the print and manufacturing industry, and ultimately pioneering a universal language of color that reshaped art, design, and commerce forever. Through an exclusive interview and rare archival footage, this film offers an intimate glimpse into the life and mind of a true innovator whose impact remains largely unrecognized—until now.

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the man who brought clarity to color and revolutionized industries worldwide. Whether you're a designer, artist, or simply fascinated by the world around you, The Pantone Guy is a must-see tribute to creativity, vision, and the power of a single idea to change everything.

There will be a special Q&A session after between Director, Patrick Creadon and ArtCenter’s Dean of Visual Art & Communication Division, Sean Adams.
