Getting the Correct Pantones Without a Mac

If you dont have a mac laptop or computer at home and cant seem to get pantone colours correct on photoshop, dont worry theres hope. All you need is the Firefix internet, if you dont have it its really simple to download. Once you have downloaded it you will notice you can add "add on's" to firefox. On the firefox internet just type in add on colour picker and download it. After its downloaded you will notice at the bottom left hand side of the internet a colour picker tool and if at time you see a colour and you want to know what pantone colour is. simply click on the colour picker icon at the bottom and hover over the colour, you will then notice at the bottom of the internet in the bar there is R, G, B the numbers that come up with R, G, B, 's should be different everytime you hover over another colour.
All you need to do them is get on to photoshop and get the colour pallete up there will then be a R, G, B, colour slide which you can type your own numbers in to, make a note of the R, G, B colours you like and type the numbers in that it comes up with. You should then have the exact match of pantone colour added to photoshop.
