how to add a PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM (PMS) color to the Swatches panel.


  1. Choose Window > Swatch Libraries > Color Books > PANTONE+ Solid Coated.


The PANTONE+ Solid Coated library appears in its own panel.



  1. Type 137 in the Find field. As you type, the list is filtered, showing a smaller and smaller range
    of swatches.




  2. Click the swatch PANTONE 137 C, beneath the search field to add it to the Swatches panel for
    this document. Click the X to the right of the search field to stop the filtering.
