Adobe programs came default with Pantone digital libraries from the initial release of the Pantone Plus Series (Pantone Graphics system) which was in 2010. We have added many colors to our systems since then as well as our Fashion Home + Interiors system, which were not updated by Adobe in their programs by default.
Pantone Connect is our digital platform that includes an Extension for Adobe CC programs available on Adobe Exchange and will work with current versions of Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. This cloud based solution that allows you to open this Extension within Adobe and quickly access all Pantone colors, build/store/share palettes, convert from color values (RGB, Hex, CMYK or L*a*b*) into Pantone colors as well as ‘on the fly’ select the color for use within Adobe CC programs. It’s a Pantone color tool set with many features built into Adobe programs. This will give you full access to all current Pantone colors and the ability to use our colors in your Adobe CC programs.
The Pantone Connect Extension for Adobe CC can be downloaded from the Adobe Exchange Marketplace at: https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.103029.html.
