How do you change a Pantone color name in InDesign? We’re trying to change the name and it’s locked.
It’s pretty simple. After you create the Pantone swatch, change the Color Mode dropdown menu from “Pantone [whatever]” to CMYK. You can leave the Color Type set at Spot. Once it’s in CMYK mode, the field is unlocked, and you can rename it.
