Finding the actual colour of a pantone code in Photoshop

Hi guys,

Should hopefully be an easy one, I seem to be struggling to find the answer to it though unfortunately.

I've been given a few pantone colour codes (286C, 137C, 2905C, etc.), just wondering whether there is a way in Photoshop to insert these codes in order to find the actual colours?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi

Click on the Foreground/Background squares to open the color picker

Choose Color Libraries

Choose a book (for your examples PANTONE+Solid Coated)

Click on one of the rectangles and type the number e.g. 137C

What do you mean by »actual colours«?

In which Color Space do you work?

Have you tried  using the Color Picker, setting it to »Color Libraries« and selecting the appropriate one?
