2.4 USING PANTONE®* COLOR SUPPORT IN OTHER APPLICATIONS
If your application is not listed, you might have access to PANTONE®* colors in that program through EPS charts
or TIFF charts.
Using EPS or TIFF charts to import PANTONE®* colors
Most graphics and desktop publishing programs allow the import of EPS files, TIFF files, or both. Many programs
also have an "eyedropper" tool, which you can use to pick up colors out of an imported graphic. If necessary, you
can use the EPS or TIFF files to import colors into any application that supports one of these formats and has an
eyedropper tool (or functional equivalent).
1. Open the Epschart or Tifchart Folder on your desktop.
2. Locate the color that you want to import from a printout of the PANTONE®* Color Chart. (See the section on
printing the color chart for instructions.)
3. On the printout, note the number that appears at the bottom of the column containing your color. This number
ranges from 1 to 92 and might include decimals.
Also note the PANTONE®* number, directly under the swatch containing your color on the PANTONE®*
color palette. For instance, 106 refers to a shade of yellow on the first page of your printout, in column three.
