Hi Mike,


If you are using 1.5.4 you can download and install the HKS palettes (not just the J+S version) and hundreds of other colour systems via the Resources manager (Windows -> Resources). Note that these are not the original HKS colour values. Instead, they result from a photometric measuring of their printed references and are in L*a*b*, not CMYK.


HTH,
Christoph
