Transforming Pantone into Space: Sensory Design with Colored Acrylic
Table of Contents
By Yan Luo | Samtop Display
Using colored acrylic to build immersive retail and event spaces allows brands to take their Pantone color from just a swatch to a fully sensory experience. By incorporating color into light, structure, and interaction, brands can create emotionally memorable environments. At Samtop, we help brands use high-quality, custom-colored acrylic to transform their color identity into impactful, multisensory displays.
In today’s crowded retail and event environments, how can brands ensure their color identity stands out and connects emotionally with customers? How do you make your Pantone color not just visible, but also experiential in a way that reflects your brand personality?
Simply displaying products or placing logos in your brand color is not enough. Your color should evoke emotion and engagement, creating an environment that speaks for your brand. But how can you elevate color beyond a flat surface into an immersive experience?
Colored acrylic is the answer. By using acrylic panels, plinths, partitions, and lighting, you can transform your Pantone color into an environmental experience that’s social media-worthy and emotionally resonant. At Samtop, we specialize in crafting these dynamic, modular color-centric spaces that deliver a memorable and immersive brand experience.
🎨 Why Color-Centric Design Matters in Retail
| Design Element | Role |

| Color = Instant Brand Recognition | Think Tiffany blue, Fendi yellow, Glossier pink — iconic shades communicate identity instantly. |
| Emotional Response | Colors evoke feelings: calm, excitement, luxury, clarity. Acrylic enhances that through light & reflection. |
| Social Sharing | Bold color zones encourage customer photos and branded UGC moments. |
| Environmental Coherence | Acrylic lets you apply brand color across signage, props, fixtures, and backgrounds — seamlessly. |
