I am using Illustrator CS4.

I am trying to find Patone 7621 C

I have looked in all my swatch books in Illustrator and can't find any color beginning with 76..(no 7619, 7620, 7621, etc.) It stops at 75...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dbo

    If you don't have Pantone Color Manager software installed (which allows you to update your Pantone Libraries), then all you can really do is search for the pantone color name on pantone's website and get the CMYK, HEX, or RGB values to use instead.

    I got sort of the same issue, though when i check the Pantone site it does exist. It seems illustrator hasnt either updated their Color Books from PMS or i did something wrong.

    I need PMS 3515c (dark purple), this is the page on PMS site which contains the correct number.

    Anyone got an idea why this does not show in Illustrator?

    I also tried other books, nothing

    Download the Pantone Color Manager to update your Pantone libraries.

    The answer was discovered by someone asking anther question concerning another pantone question the colors you wan are in the newest color libraries from Pantone known as Pantone Plus Digital Libraries for Adobe and you can get a free down load from the Pantone site by following this link

    http://www.pantone.com/pages/Pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20721

    once installed you will also have up to date formulas which are according to Pantone a consolidation of the euro and north american standards.

    there are a couple of new categories as well I recommend everyone install the and unfortunately you need new swatch books which I no longer buy.
