I find Color Bridge adds an element of confusion by offering non-existent parallels. CMYK can’t print vibrant greens or oranges (nor plenty of other colours too). They give you a conversion where there is none. This is where I personally find Color Bridge conversions to a problem. There’s a big variety of vibrant greens and oranges available in spot printing that just aren’t possible in process. Real word results must be considered when speccing colours. The differences are massive in the process versions (InDesign CC 2019, v14.0.2): This matrix shows the original Adobe-supplied Pantone colours swatches against the new PCM exported V3 swatches: as solid and process coated and uncoated. Have a look at the screenshots below showing PMS Orange 021. In the case of Color Bridge (CMYK process), these conversions are very different from the original versions. More confusion… Pantone PCM V3 versions display colour values. Once set, you won’t see related Pantone swatches – or the search field – in the Swatch Options modal. However, Pantone PCM V3 versions are not as well integrated into the CC apps as original Adobe integrated, versions. On the plus side, PCM V3 colours show small on-screen warnings for spot colours that are beyond the display’s gamut. PCM Pantone V3 vs original Adobe-supplied Pantone swatch librariesĬouple of issues I’ve found with the new PCM “V3” colour swatches in InDesign… Look for the -V3 suffix, eg: “PANTONE+ Solid Uncoated-V3”. The 5th step is tedious but, in the end, you’ll have the full Pantone swatch collection available as well as the original incomplete libraries that ship with the Adobe apps.
