  • What about the other way around? Someones tells you to use a certain PMS number as a colour. How do you apply that to your work?

  • @WickedMuis Great question. Illustrator (& Photoshop & InDesign) have PMS libraries pre-loaded in the software. Generally you will need to go to the swatches or color palate, add a new color library and pick one of the PMS options (there are multiple to choose from). Scroll through to find the requested color & then the color palate will give you the equivalent hex# or CMYK/RGB numbers.

  • @retailrockstar Great point! I was in the middle of a project so I was using what I was working with. The principle is the same though. Thanks for watching & commenting!
