never mind I got it 🙂 I remembered how…. for anyone that doesn’t know how…. open your color picker, hit the "custom" button and then just punch in the PMS color with the key pad and it’ll select the color for you.

When I first read this thread I thought "Oh no, hot flashes???"

Glad you figured it out and shared. 🙂

That will only give you a CMYK or RGB version of the Pantone color. To actually get the Pantone color you’ll need to use duotones or spot channels.

BTW, the PMS label hasn’t been used by Pantone for years. Margaret’s little joke should be a clue as to the apparent reason for that.
