PMS or CMY colours

[Guest]

How do I specify our corporate colours in powerpoint.
We have the PMS numbers and also the CMY specs.
Powerpoint only talks RGB or HSL

You need to convert the colors from Pantone or CMY/CMYK to RGB.

Most drawing/illustration programs (Illustrator, CorelDraw etc) will help with
the conversion (you can specify the Pantone color then have it converted to RGB
for you).

Be sure to turn all color management OFF before doing this or your conversions
won't necessarily match what you get in PPT (which has no color management).

Or you can do what I do...match the printed colours by eye.
