Expert: - 11/7/2008


Question
I have Photochop CS, and would like to add a new Pantone color which came out on 2008.  it is called Blue iris and it is numbered 18-3943.

Is there a way to "import" this new color into my Photoshop, so I can easily work with it on my images?

Thanks.

Answer
Hi Charlie,

Pantone offers their color libraries for download. Go to:
http://www.pantone.com/goefree
Select the library you want and look for the Digital Library download link.

Pantone offers free downloads for most of their paper color systems but does charge for more specialty ones such as  their Paints + Interiors and Home + Fashion color libraries.

Hope this helps,
