THE KING OF COLOR
Sponsored by Ed and Susan Ritts
Documentary; 82 Mins
At 96 years old, Lawrence Herbert, known as THE KING OF COLOR, is a visionary whose revolutionary idea to standardize color remains largely unrecognized. Growing up in Depression-era Brooklyn, Herbert entered the print and manufacturing trade during a time when color was a chaotic and subjective experience.
He channeled his unique vision into creating the Pantone Matching System (PMS)—a groundbreaking invention that established a universal language for color, profoundly enhancing artistic expression and commercial production across all industries.
Directors: Christine O'Malley, H. Nelson Tracey
Producer: Patrick Creadon
Key Cast: Larry Herbert
