Colorful Keyboard Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This iOS Keyboard App is a Collaboration Between Pantone and Brightkey

— November 14, 2014 — Tech
If you find your regular iPhone keyboard is too boring, you'll likely appreciate the Pantone iOS keyboard. The famous color swatch company paired up with Brightkey to create a custom keyboard for iPhones.

Brightkey is a third-party iOS 8 keyboard with a number of interesting features. The keyboard is compatible with every app available for iOS 8. Its features include being able to swipe upwards to send texts and save time.

The Pantone version is a theme pack that turns the existing Brightkey keyboard into one of 11 Pantone shades, according to John Brownlee of Fast Company's CoDesign, who trialled an early version of the app. While he felt there was no shortage of missed opportunities with this collaboration, the Pantone keyboard could just be getting started.
Trend Themes
1. Custom Ios Keyboards - The collaboration between Pantone and Brightkey to create a custom iOS keyboard presents an opportunity for other companies to develop their own unique keyboards for personalized user experiences.
2. Swiping Keyboards - The feature of being able to swipe upwards to send texts and save time, as seen in Brightkey, could disrupt the traditional tap-to-type method and encourage the development of more efficient keyboard interfaces.
3. Theme Packs for Keyboards - The Pantone theme pack for Brightkey keyboard demonstrates the potential for creating themed keyboard experiences, opening up opportunities for other brands or designers to collaborate and offer customized keyboard themes.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - With the rise of custom keyboards, mobile app developers can explore creating their own keyboard apps to enhance user experiences on smartphones and tablets.
2. Graphic Design - The collaboration between Pantone and Brightkey showcases the intersection of graphic design and technology, opening up new possibilities for graphic designers to create visual experiences through custom keyboard themes.
3. User Interface Design - The development of swiping keyboards and custom theme packs highlights the importance of intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces, providing opportunities for user interface designers to revolutionize the way people interact with their devices.
