  in corel draw a square and fill with cmyk, the change colour by selecting pantone, it will bring up the nearest. From there I then use a pantone colour bridge chart to find the colour and gain the rgb or cmyk values, hope that made sense, have to call yuo later today anyway

  Of cource it all depends on where that CMYK comes from, here I’m using Omega’s ColorId and using the source color from our CMYK swop file.

  Just another way to do it for Gerber users

  Source: CMYK Color (Family=8005) Color: 25, 0, 100, 0
  C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\COLOR\GSP_SWOP.ICM
  Gerber (GSP) SWOP CMYK
  Lab: 82.35,-19.03,62.67

  Target:
  1: PANTONE® solid coated (Family=800F)
  PANTONE 584 C
  Lab: 82.04,-14.65,62.80 delta: 4.4

  2: PANTONE® solid coated (Family=800F)
  PANTONE 379 C
  Lab: 88.72,-14.76,57.34 delta: 9.3

  3: PANTONE® solid coated (Family=800F)
  PANTONE 386 C
  Lab: 90.18,-13.37,57.89 delta: 10.8

  4: PANTONE® solid coated (Family=800F)
  PANTONE 380 C
  Lab: 86.32,-18.80,72.74 delta: 10.8

  5: PANTONE® solid coated (Family=800F)
  PANTONE 374 C
  Lab: 85.90,-28.92,59.13 delta: 11.1
