• 336 new pantone colors

  Hello!

  I have a problem: recent 336 pantone colors are not included in latest CS6 InDesign pantone color libraries.

  Anyone know how to get these new colors into InDesign?

  kindly, Jes

  To all:

  I read with interest the 'thread' here about latest 336 PANTONE colors and thought I'd take the opportunity to set the record straight.

  PANTONE 336 new colors were introduced in April 2012, subsequent to launch PANTONE PLUS SERIES products in May 2010.

  Adobe CS6 is the first version of the suite Adobe to provide native support for PANTONE libraries MORE SERIES, this includes no 336 April 2012 latest PANTONE colors.  These colors are supported in PANTONE Color Manager software.

  PANTONE Color Manager has been designed in 2010 as a vehicle through which visitors to Pantone could keep their digital PANTONE libraries completely up-to-date.  The software is distributed for free for free with the purchase and registration of up-to-date PANTONE color guides and books.  Each PANTONE publication has a unique serial number which, once registered, it becomes the activation key for non-reusable activation of PANTONE Color Manager.  Thus, Pantone does not charge extra for a customer for libraries, in addition to the cost of PANTONE publications themselves. Customers who choose not to buy updated books, or who may need additional licenses in addition to the amount of books they own, can purchase PANTONE Color Manager for $49.00 per additional user license

  The current version of PANTONE Color Manager, version 2.1, contains support for PANTONE colors more recent 336 separate libraries and allows users to export these to Adobe CS6 and earlier versions.  Buying PANTONE Color Manager is installed, but are missing the colors more recent 336, can auto-updated to the software, or access their myPANTONE account and download the latest installer without charge.  The last installation running on the current installation program updates the software to the latest version.

  For detailed information on your personal situation, you can contact Pantone directly by e-mail at [email protected].

  I hope that the community as a whole will find this information useful.

• Pantone color won't InDesign CC new shade of color...

  My company's primary color is Pantone 541 C.  Before CC InDesign, I could choose new color chart..., PANTONE Solid Coated, type in 541 and he would come right up.  Since switching to InDesign CC, when I type in 541, he takes by default 5415 and won't go to 541 no matter what I do.  I have to scroll down (waste of time!) until I found and click Add.  It is in the list, but does not come to the top when you type 541.  WHY?  That this has something to do with the Pantone + against the old Pantone colors?  Can I create a shade by default to include this color because I use it 99% of the things I design.

  Try typing 541

  adding the space will take you to the shade you need.

• PANTONE color standard will not launch

  I have a ThinkPad W530 with color sensor and Pantone color standard. It has worked very well since I got the computer brand new for more than a year. Since last week, my color Stallion did not launch when I click on the notification "ThinkPad display must be postponed. I have the rotation icon, but it disappears after a few moments. I tried to do a restore and selected a time point before I think it happened. But the system refuses to return to this restore point, because he "can not find a file." What the? I have not deleted all files in system folders, I can't believe that one of my automatic updates has this screwed up. Of course, the message doesn't tell me what * kind * of file is missing.

  I am looking for a download and a re-installation of the program of Pantone color calibrator
  pantone_color_calibrator_setup_v1_2_0_6455.exe from this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS015010.

  Hoping that will work, but someone else has experienced this problem? And that he turn out to be?

  I'll report the results of the re - install and thanks for any help pother.

  For some, the sensor and calibration software is really limited in functionality.

• After you have installed the latest Pantone color library in photoshop, some colors are inaccessible

  I try to refer to a specific Pantone color in Photoshop. I want to use the color library browser, so that I can easily get an overview of my chosen color variants. The color, I'm working with is not available in the original Pantone Coated color book provided with my version of Photoshop. So I downloaded and installed the Pantone color Manager and checked the color I want IS identified in the book lying in the Pantone color Manager. Great! I saved the book of color as a .acb file and installed in Photoshop. But I can not yet select some colors. They exist in Pantone color Manager, but they are not searchable from within Photoshop. Very strange!

  Here are the steps I followed to bring the book of the color in Photoshop:

  1. launch Pantone Color Manager

  2. Select the formula Guide - coated color book

  3. perform a search for "2128" and ensure that color exists.

  4. choose Save as... and save the file with a .acb (Adobe color book) file. I named it "PANTONE + Solid Coated - V3.acb.

  5. exit Photoshop

  6 copy the book of color in books color file in Photoshop (/ Applications / Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Presets/color books).

  7. start Photoshop.

  8. open the color picker and click the button "color libraries".

  9. choose my new book of color in the menu ("PANTONE + Solid Coated-V3')

  10 type '2128': not found (Photoshop shows me 212c instead).

  I scrolled the book color in Photoshop - color isn't here!

  What I am doing wrong?

  You want to export the color book. Then it must meet 2-1-2-8 in the Photoshop color picker and I would choose Lab as the color model during export.

• I'm looking for updates for Adobe cc pantone color libraries 2015.

  Cannot find the shift of color pantone thereafter books CC 2015.

  PANTONE stopped updating libraries HAVE several versions ago. You should probably download the 30 day trial of Pantone Color Manager and export libraries of here to get the new colors.

• PANTONE color Mismatch - Please Help!

  Hi all

  I'm sure this is an old topic, but I'm pulling out my hair at this time to try to understand why a color marked as Pantone Orange 021 C poster completely differently in the two files.

  Basically, I was sent a swatch source file to work from (in the form of a PDF document with coloured boxes and their Pantone code written on them), but when I copy and paste a color into my new file or select it from the swatches Pantone, color is completely different and in-depth has different LAB and CMYK colors to the original file.

  I see that my new file displays the color as a color of paper, in which case the source PDF displays colors in CMYK... that means that my source file was made using the non-Pantone book more color?

  If so, could someone please suggest how I could copy and paste these colors in my new files using the original CMYK values? Essentially, it is important that I keep the colors in my new compatible with the source PDF file - tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated...

  P.S. I use Illustrator CC and made sure that I work in the same evidence in place.

  Thank you very much

  

  Giles

  Yes, your source file was made with old books of color Pantone containing simulation CMYK values.

  Since the CS6 these CMYK values are no longer present in the Pantone libraries +, but Lab values are used to calculate the closest possible CMYK simulation based on your color settings.

  Lab values for this color have not changed.

  If you want to keep the old values CMYK, double click on the nuance in the swatches Panel in your old document and choose: Type color > color

• Lack of Pantone colors in illustrator and Indesign

  Hello
  

  
  

  I hope someone can help me with the following.

  I use adobe creative cloud every day on a mac. We are currently finishing off a re-brand of the company I work for and we have a new color scheme implemented, which also means PANTONE new colors were chosen.

  But for some reason, I can only find 2 of the 4 colors in my indesign and illustrator PANTONE color libraries. The rest do not seem to be available...

  You miss the following colors:

  PANTONE: 2347

  PANTONE: 2292

  I wonder if there is some sort of an update that I should do for my libraries of colors? and what is the best solution for these missing colors in my adobe design creative cloud account so I can start using them in the future.

  Thanks in advance!

  PANTONE provide all their colors as shades available for download on their site, more free libraries, some only in the context of their commercial software. Check out their site. While there, also read their color guides. The colors you chose may simply have been replaced / replaced by others. For what be more demand in the forums of each product.

• Missing Pantone color chart? 2028

  You are looking for a shade in Illustrator, 2027 and 2028. They are part of the PMS Solid Coated series Guide Plus formula of 2013.
  
  Looked in the PANTONE + CMYK and PANTONE libraries + solid coating and they didn't come. All the tracks?
  

  They are part of the 336 new colors that have rolled into the swatches Pantone 2 Version in early 2014. None of these books of swatch is provided by Adobe.

  You can either buy the Pantone Color Manager and export them. I believe you can also download and install the trial version and export them. If you have recent books of Pantone physical, I think you can get a free copy of the PCM - look on their Web site for more information.

• Folder "Global colors without a name" of Pantone Color Manager ASE

  Hi all

  I'm not sure if this - or something similar - has been answered before, but I couldn't find any suitable thread/message /...

  All first of all system information:

  OSX imac running 10.8.x and macbook OSX 10.9.1 running

  * Illustrator CC

  * Pantone Color Manager

  I try to use the Pantone Fashion and home / color paper library provided by Pantone color Manager, clean for the use of the radiant missawi 18-3224 TPX (color of 2014). I saved the library named in a *.ase file and opened it in artificial intelligence. The number of colors, I guess, that all colors are imported, but I can't find the 18-3224. BUT there are a lot of 'no name Global Colors"with some of them who could be in question. Using 'pantone.ase xxd' in the terminal I can find at least the name "radiant 18-3224 TPX Orchid", which means, it is saved in the given file. Does anyone have an idea where start or - even better - how to solve this problem?

  Looking forward to any suggestions,

  Stephan

  Dear Scott:

  Your copy of PANTONE Color Manager is seriously out of date, because this problem has been fixed for a long time.

  To correct this, you will need to register at myPANTONE if you have not already done so - it is a free registration and will allow access to the PANTONE Color Manager update installer.  If you need to register you can do it first at https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypMemberProfile.aspx.

  So here are the steps needed to correct this problem:

  1. delete all exported PANTONE FASHION + libraries HOUSE of all Adobe applications.

  2. log into your myPANTONE account and go to tools/downloaded software.

  3. download the PANTONE Color Manager for Mac or Windows Installer as appropriate.  It is the first product on the software downloads page.

  4. run the installer of PANTONE Color Manager directly on your current installation, which will update to version 2.1.

  5. the re-export the PANTONE FASHION + HOME of PANTONE Color Manager libraries for your Adobe products.  All exported PANTONE FASHION + HOME colors will now properly appear in Adobe Illustrator.

  Please note: when you start the PANTONE Color Manager Update, you will be asked to perform a "PantoneLIVE" update on the cotton F & H PANTONE library.  This update will remove the cotton F & H PANTONE and PANTONE F & H cotton - libraries of new colors and replace them with a single cotton F & H PANTONE library with all the colors of 2,100 in chromatic arrangement.

• How to script Illustrator to get a library of shades PANTONE color chart

  I've searched high and low, but can't find the answer to this question.  Quite simply, I need a script to convert all spot colors PANTONE an Illustrator file in the PANTONE BRIDGE book CMYK equivalents.

  To do this, however, it seems necessary for the script to search through the various books PANTONE swatch library color to find the one I'm looking for.  I have a string that I need, but I don't see how ExtendScript can perform a search in the libraries of different shades (or even just the a library - 'Coated + PANTONE Color Bridge (UN)'.  I can't just to watch the nuances that are in the main "Swatches" palette using Document.swatches.  Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that code gives me an "MRAP" error in the ESTK.  But, I actually found a way around the problem by using your original suggestion to have a separate file with all color swatches Pantone, added to this, then the script can enter this shade, grasp its getInternalColor, turn it into a CMYKColor, then assign the extracted values of getInternalColor of four properties of the colors of the new shade.

  Yes, it is a bit of a roundabout method and takes a lot of code, but it does the job quickly, and that's what I need.  Here is the code I have (the "workDoc" has already been assigned to the currently open document.):

  // To finish up, we delete the other two layers beyond the first and then save the file for use as digital printing file.
  // First, delete the two layers.
  workDoc.layers[2].locked = false;
  workDoc.layers[2].remove();
  workDoc.layers[1].locked = true;
  //          workDoc.layers[1].remove();
  
  // Before grouping and mirroring all of the artwork, it's time to convert all spot colors to process
  // using the PANTONE Bridge book as a reference.
  
  // First, let's open up the reference document that has all of the PANTONE Bridge book colors as swatches.
  var bridgeDoc = app.open(File("~/Documents/PantoneBridge.ai"));
  
  // Since attempting to colorize textFrame objects seems to crash Illustrator, we're best off just converting them all to paths anyway.
  var texts = workDoc.textFrames;
  for (var t = 0; t < texts.length; t++)
  {
            texts[t].createOutline();
  }
  
  var items = workDoc.pathItems;
  for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
  {
            var myPath = items[i];
            if (myPath.fillColor .typename == "SpotColor")

• Help to find the Pantone colors

  Hello

  I try to use Pantone colors and some of them do not appear when I type the number e.g. 2333 CP.  I'm going between different libraries, sex / non-couche, etc., and most of them see fine.

  I have about 40 colors to find / match because I use to create accurate models of clothes.  It seems to be of those who are 2XXX I have problems with. Does anyone know what is the problem?

  Thank you

  
  Emma

  There is a Pantone iPhone app that includes 4 figures. A sample of the color (of modest value) comes with its Lab value (among others). By entering the value of laboratory in the Photoshop color picker, you can see and have precise color. Your 2333 C is 46, 1, 3. (It shows Lab to two decimal places. I rounded it)

  

• How to get gradient Pantone colors?

  My customer logo has a shield with a gradient on it, and I don't know how to determine what pantone colors they are. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  If its juice all made from random CMYK or rub generates, then you could open it in photoshop, or copy - paste in it.

  You can then use the pipette and the photoshop color picker lets you click to display the closest Pantone color match.

  its not always accurate, but it's a good start, you can then look for numbers in the book of pantone and soften it to something that seems closer, or has a substitute CMYK better / build process work.
