Using Pantone/Spot Colors in XeLaTeX
Update
LuaLaTeX
and xspotcolor
don't work a the moment but XeLaTeX
and xespotcolor
still do:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xespotcolor}
\NewSpotColorSpace{PANTONE}
\AddSpotColor {PANTONE} {PANTONE3035PC} {PANTONE\SpotSpace 3035\SpotSpace PC} {1 0 0.05 0.72}
\SetPageColorSpace{PANTONE}
\definecolor{PANTONE3035PC} {spotcolor} {PANTONE3035PC,1.0}
\definecolor{PANTONE3035PCA} {spotcolor} {PANTONE3035PC,0.5}
\definecolor{grey} {gray} {0.5}
\begin{document}
Examples:
\begin{itemize}
\item This is not Pantone
\item \textcolor{PANTONE3035PC}{This is PANTONE 3035 PC}
\item \textcolor{PANTONE3035PCA}{This is PANTONE 3035 PCA}
\item \textcolor{grey}{grey}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
LuaLaTeX
works with xspotcolor
and you can use OpenType fonts. Maybe you should consider using it instead of XeLaTeX
.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[autodefine]{xspotcolor}
\NewSpotColorSpace{PANTONE}
\AddSpotColor{PANTONE} {PANTONE3035PC} {PANTONE\SpotSpace 3035\SpotSpace PC} {1 0 0.05 0.72}
\definecolor{PANTONE3035PCA}{spotcolor}{PANTONE3035PC,.5}
\definecolor{grey}{gray}{0.5}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
\SetPageColorSpace{PANTONE}
Examples:
\begin{itemize}
\item this text is not Pantone
\item \textcolor{PANTONE3035PC}{dark blue}
\item \textcolor{PANTONE3035PCA}{light blue}
\item \textcolor{grey}{grey}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
You can use the xespotcolor package. You need the latest version of xdvipdfm-x.
