Yes, first make the desired color your active foreground color in your Adobe application. Then, within the Pantone Connect Extension go to the “Convert” tool (under Colors menu) and select the “import” button. You’ve now “imported” that color, so make sure your desired Pantone library is selected and hit the “convert” button. You will be provided with the Best Match to that color as well as four alternatives (next four closest). You can then drag it into your palette workspace and/or add it to the Adobe Swatches tool.
