Create a Pantone Swatch in Illustrator
Make your own Pantone Swatch colors in Illustrator with Theresa Jackson.
In this Illustrator how-to video, Theresa Jackson mourns the loss of Pantone swatches in Adobe software — but also shows you how to create your own! Starting with Pantone’s color finder tool, Theresa finds her chosen color and then she tracks down the RGB color values. Back in Illustrator, she demonstrates how to input the color into the Swatch panel.
