Colour values

[Leenie]

Good morning. I am trying to create a document using a particular shade of blue. I was told it is called Pantone 300 Blue. Does anyone know how I can find that exact colour in the Select Color box?
Thanks.

You can google it but there are conflicting guides out there. It is an actual pigment and not a screen color per se.

In RGB terms, try 25, 120, 190 or 15, 125, 215.

In CMYK terms, it was recommended to me 100, 44, 0, 0. I don't like this last one. The tint is too light in my opinion. It would be best to use an RGB color and then switch to CMYK.

For an RGB of 25, 120, 190 the CMYK would be 165, 70, 0, 65.

Actually someone else pointed me to this website:

And the RGB is 0,114,198 which worked perfectly.
