Import Just a Few, Or All, of the Pantone Colors
In the previous tip we showed you how to choose an individual Pantone color as your color swatch, but what if you want to import seven or eight Pantone swatches? What if you want to import them all? Here’s how: To import multiple Pantone colors, go to the Swatches palette and choose New Color Swatch from the palette’s flyout menu. Then from the Color Mode pop-up menu choose which Pantone color set you want. That set will load, and they will be displayed as a list in the dialog. Command-click (PC: Control-click) on the individual Pantone swatches you want to import, then click the Add button. If you want to import the entire Pantone set into your Swatches palette, click on the first visible Pantone swatch, then scroll to the bottom of the list, hold the Shift key and click on the last swatch, then click OK, and all the Pantone swatches in that set will load into your Swatches palette, where you’ll spend the rest of your natural life scrolling through the hundreds of swatches.
