Pantone Converter ((top)) | Tcx

The evolution of the TCX converter is moving toward augmented reality (AR) and machine learning. New apps now allow a designer to point a smartphone camera at a physical object—a flower petal, a weathered brick, an old velvet curtain—and instantly receive the nearest TCX code. More advanced AI converters are being trained to predict how a TCX color will appear on alternative materials (linen, silk, recycled polyester) without requiring physical dyeing. This "virtual strike-off" capability promises to reduce sample waste by up to 70%, aligning the color industry with sustainability goals.

High-end designers use Pantone’s proprietary software or plugins. tcx pantone converter
