Its that age old problem, we’ve all been there. A deadline is looming, you’ve misplaced your Pantone swatch book and you can’t seem to find your trusty Rubik’s Cube. Well fear not, there is a solution and it’s called the Rubitone. This clever adaptation of the 80’s classic from Ignacio Pilotto is simply an ordinary Rubik’s Cube with the traditional coloured stickers replaced with swatches from the Pantone colour system.

Sadly it appears that the Rubitone is not intended to be a commercial product. Probably a few licencing issues. The original Rubik’s Cube is rumoured to have sold over 350 million cubes worldwide since its launch. Bit of a shame really, we could see the Rubitone easily outselling the Pantone mugs!

So, if you find yourself in a conundrum and you don’t want to run another algorithm, you could easily give your old Rubik’s Cube the Rubitone treatment with a few left over Pantone chips. In a colour of your choice of course.
