—  Adobe has confirmed that Pantone Colour Libraries will be phased out from this month from Creative Cloud, although some colour books will remain available. The software giant said that the standardised pre-loaded colour libraries in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign would be phased out from 16 August. The change means that customers will need to buy Pantone Connect licences to access all of the Pantone libraries via a plug-in. There are concerns that printers could end up being blamed for colour inconsistencies if designers and specifiers do not properly understand the changes. However, three Pantone Color books would remain: Pantone + CMYK coated, Pantone + CMYK uncoated, and Pantone + Metallics Coated.
