How to Convert Photoshop RGB Values to Pantone Swatch Values

Hi.

I'm working with a t-shirt printing service that only works from Pantone chips and I was wondering if there was a way for me to plug my RGB values from Photoshop into some converter that would show me Pantone swatches with the closest values?

Thank you!

    Click on Color Libraries, and choose that Pantone book you work with.

    Not that no such thing exists as 100% accurate conversion of RGB or CMYK to pantone. The estimated colors you find here should work most of the time, check against a printed PMS book to confirm you like the color.

    There is actually a Pantone book for textiles with strange numbers. but my guess is the service you use uses the most popular book the solid coated. Feel free to post what the printing service looks for and will be happy to assist if needed.
