The magazine was founded in Berlin in 2001 by Joerg Koch, a freelance journalist who had previously run a gallery, and his wife Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenhain, a documentary producer who created it as a way to win attention for their website 032c.com.[2] The original cover featured a giant red square, a reference to the bold color in the Pantone Matching System for which the publication is named.[2] Now the magazine has featured names such as Kanye West and Ricardo Tisci on its cover.
