Hi ButterUpButtercup, this thread is about mixing 2 Pantone colours and keeping the spot colours when separating/printing the file. Your workaround is about creating a single new colour from a mix of two colours, so the spotcolour information will get lost. But if that is not important (because you want to work for screens, or if you do not care about spot inks but just want the colour impression), there may be an even easier way. 1. Create a gradient of the two colors you want to blend 2. Select Object > Expand, specify the number of objects to expand the gradient to. 3. While they are still selected, go to the Swatches Panel and select Add Selected Colours from the fly-out menu. You can then select them from the Swatches panel (and as a bonus they are Global colours).
