Pantone Colour of the Year

One color per year, as announced — nine announcements from 2019 to 2026, newest first. Every color carries its year, its announced Pantone code, its hex, and the nearest Bambu Lab, SUNLU, and Polymaker filament so a pairing on this page can go straight into the printer. All 16 combinations are original to this reference, and every one of them is printable in close or workable matches from all three brands.

The Combinations — 16

Proportions are the recipe: the first color leads, the last is the accent. The % bar shows the split; the filament under each name is what to load.
