I have a client that wants me to specify PMS 2287 in a spot-color print file, but I cannot find it anywhere in the color books? Where is this color or how do I add it?

You can install the Pantone color manager from pantone.com to update your libraries.

But you can also create a spot color yourself with the name and specs you find here:

Ton,

 

Thanks for the quick response. I tried downloading and installing the Pantone Connect extension and these are my results:

 

MacBook Pro 2015 - Catalina 10.15.7 - Latest Adobe CC 2021:  "Installation Failed"

2019 Mc Pro - Catalina 10.15.7 - Latest Adobe CC 2021: Installer worked and Extension panel showed up in Illustrator, but just says "Reload Plugin". Clicking on the link text does nothing? Same behavior in both AI and PS?

I did not know about this new extension, but  I just installed it.

I had to scroll down all the license agreement text before I  could click ok.

It is not very intuitive, but I could search and add the color to my document.

If you cannot get it to work, you can copy these settings.

Are you on Mac or PC? I cannot get the interface shown in your screenshot to appear. I can get the Pantone Connect "panel" to appear, but it does not populate with the PANTONE and Sign In field?
