Luko Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Good day, Is there a way to see what the Pantone colour value of an object is? I'm working in a "Print (Press-Ready)" document. I applied a Pantone colour, and also added the colour to the swatches panel. If I hover over that swatch later, how do I confirm what Pantone colour that swatch represents? Thank you.

firstdefence Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If you add a Pantone colour as a fill it should show the Pantone name when the cursor is hovered over the swatch, if the colour is added as a global colour, for some reason it get called "Global Colour {number}" instead of using the Pantone name as the default name, I think this should be changed.

Luko Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thank you for the reply, I tested this now with a new document. I added a new Pantone colour. It still does not show the name/value of the Pantone colour when I hover over the swatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list with the values is not shown, when it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
