It was originally created as a way to win attention for the domain 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]

Past contributors include Matthew Barney, David Woodard, Hedi Slimane, Daido Moriyama, Juergen Teller, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Rem Koolhaas/OMA. The fashion section has featured stories by Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti, Collier Schorr, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Fabien Baron and Alasdair McLellan.[3][4]
