    Hi @Exuberant_warrior1802

     

    Thanks for reaching out! As mentioned above, Pantone color libraries were removed from Adobe apps starting with software updates released in August, 2022. However, if you rely on Pantone libraries, you'll need a Pantone license via the Pantone Connect plugin, which is available on Adobe Exchange.

     

    For more details, please visit this page.

     

    Regards,

    Srishti

    OK, yeah, that's a HEX color code. But what does that mean without any context? Needing a Pantone spot color match (PMS 290 C is close)?

    Yousef,

    Here is an updated version of the suggestions in my post #2:

    You may get the Pantone Color Manager, which is free when you use the serial number in your printed swatches book, (on the second or third page) and then choose the library you need.

    Or you may download the free 30 day trial of the Pantone Color Manager and add the libraries from there, see how here and here:

    Use the Pantone Color Manager to add it.

    The Color Manager is free when you have a recent printed swatches book.
