What we've done is tried to create a few different swatches using the Solid + Coated versions for 485 (485C), Cool Gray 9 (Cool Gray 9C), and a few other default swatches in Illustrator CC. The color values that a represented in our software do not match the PANTONE books, bridges, website, or the Color Manager that we have installed. The values for the 485C PANTONE in Illustrator show as 4, 98, 100, 1. The values on the website and in the color books show as 0, 95, 100, 0. The RGB and hex values are also different in Illustrator CC (RGB 226, 35, 26) (HEX #e2231a), but the books, bridge, website and color manager are uniform with these as well (RGB 218,41,28) (HEX #da291c). It looks as though Illustrator is the issue, but I'm not sure why this is happening or if it can be fixed. Any suggestions are welcome!
The Pantone+ Solid coated library in Illustrator does not contain CMYK values anymore.
It gives Lab values and it uses your color settings to simulate the color for you printing process.
That means that you will get different CMYK values when you choose newsprint or Japanese inks.

Hola,
En mi experiencia esa diferencia es debida a que los perfiles de color ICC usados en la PC no es el mismo que el utilizado para la impresion del libro (o pagina) de Pantone. De manera que al hacer la conversion, con cualquier intento colorimetricos produce valores diferentes.
