PANTONE Official Color of Biodiversity

PANTONE | TEALEAVES Collaboration
UI/UX DESIGN, 2021 – Present

The PANTONE Color of Biodiversity, a bright pink hue, symbolizes the variety of species and ecosystems that underpin the health of the planet and viability of life, and the alarming rate at which we are losing them.

The official color, PANTONE 1775 C, is selected by PANTONE Color Institute in collaboration with TEALEAVES, and in support of United Nations Biodiversity (CBD).

What is the Color of Biodiversity?

PANTONE Color Institute selected a color emblematic of the oldest pigment on earth which was discovered in 1.1-billion-year-old marine sedimentary rocks of the Taoudeni Basin in Mauritania, West Africa, by Dr. Nur Gueneli.

Designing the Experience

Collaborating with PANTONE, we created a custom botanical tea blend that perfectly embodies the Color of Biodiversity. I had the pleasure of leading the design and development of the official web experiences on TEALEAVES and NatureXDesign, as well as working with our talented Design team to create engaging social media assets that raise awareness about biodiversity loss.

Design Process

Like the Biodiversity Design Hub, our web experience is a vibrant celebration of nature's diversity and charm. The Design Team and I started with ideation, sketching, and Figma low-fidelity mockups. After designing an intuitive user experience that seamlessly showcases the project's mission, information, case studies, and resources through our vertical tabbing system, we integrated visuals from the Color of Biodiversity packaging. This unification of branding and style has brought an added layer of impact to our campaign.
