Preserved Topic: Using Pantone Colors (Page 1 of 1)

does anyone know how can i quickly find a certain pantone color in the PS palettes? i can see their names when i mouseover the color but i dont want to browse through all them...

or even better: is there an easy way to convert pantone codes into hex or rgb?

i just found out, that i can sort the colors by names in the swatches tab.
that helps me a little but not much. any other tips?

Do you need to do this in Photoshop?

This may help:

In the color picker dialog click on Custom and that will take you to where you can use several schemes to pick a color.

If you do what Krets says, they are ordered numerically and you can just type in the number you want and it'll scroll right to it

very cool!

never clicked on custom yet.

thank you!
