At 96 years old, Larry Herbert, known as "The Pantone Guy," is a visionary whose revolutionary idea to standardize color remains largely unrecognized. Growing up in Depression-era Brooklyn, Larry entered the print and manufacturing trade during a time when color was a chaotic and subjective experience. He channeled his unique vision into creating the Pantone Matching System-a groundbreaking invention that established a universal language for color, profoundly enhancing artistic expression and commercial production across all industries. This compelling documentary features an exclusive interview with Larry himself, offering an intimate glimpse into the mind behind Pantone and his enduring impact on how we perceive and use color today. — hnelsontracey
