Brightkey + Pantone Bring Colorful Keyboards to iOS Devices

Pantone and Brightkey partnered up to bring you some colorful keyboards to your Apple iPhone and iPad. Brightkey already makes keyboards for Apple devices running iOS 8 and this new venture merges Pantone’s color expertise with handheld technology. First out of the gate are colors from the PANTONE Fashion Color Report for Fall 2014 and future releases will be launched seasonally with color trends decided by Pantone.

The new keyboards work the same as the standard keyboard you already use on your Apple devices, with autocorrect and predictive text, while also adding a few new features, like user configurable Quick-fire messages and custom themes. The new themes and colors are available as in-app purchases, including the Pantone Color of the Year for 2015: Marsala.
