![]() If your Pantone textile book is outdated, you’ll have to buy the Pantone Color Manager Software ( $49 USD as of writing this – and make sure to choose “Download” unless you want to receive a CD, because the product defaults to “CD-ROM”).You’ll need to register your product here – and if you need more support there are specific instructions here. If you have a current / new Pantone textile book, you are entitled to a free download of the Pantone Color Manager Software which includes the TCX / TPX Illustrator swatch library.If you use these colors a lot, I highly recommend getting it set up instead of using the converter over and over – which is not very convenient for a long term solution. This process takes a few steps, but you only have to set it up once and then you’re done. Solution 2: Download the Pantone Color Manager Software and Load the TCX / TPX library in Illustrator This will then show you the closest color match from that book, which you can find in the default Illustrator Pantone color libraries. Select the book you want to convert to (in this example I chose the Formula Guide Solid Coated).Select the exact color you want to convert (in this example I chose 14-1064 TCX).Select the book you’re starting with (in this example I chose the Pantone Fashion + Home Cotton book).Once you’re there, follow these three steps: You can quickly convert TCX/TPX codes to a paper code using the Pantone Converter. Tip: This is quick if you just need to convert 1 color – but if you will be doing this a lot, I recommend solution 2. Solution 1: Convert the TCX / TPX Code to a Pantone Paper Code But keep reading, because there are 2 solutions to this. And if you work in fashion, then these are the books you need. Unfortunately these libraries are not included in Illustrator. But Where Are the TCX / TPX Colors from the Pantone Fashion + Home Cotton Book? So, that was pretty easy – right? You now have all swatches from that book available to use directly in your designs. Bonus Tip: Choose “Persistent” if you want this swatch panel to launch every time you open Illustrator. ![]() You might also want to change your view to Thumbnail or List. ![]()
