Pantone 2449c

[jham]

Looking for the formula to mix Pantone 2449c.
I have the CMYK values but would prefer to run it as a spot colour.
It doesn't appear in any of our swatches and I dont really want to buy new swatches for this 1 colour.
The job is a short run so don't want to buy a ready mixed tin either.

Thanks in advance.

Oh boy - what a tricky color that's going to be. Unfortunately I don't have it in my formula guide either. You can order a chip from pantone for not too much money - you can build a chip sheet for 22 bucks USD - but of course theres the time to wait for them to arrive. You can use the LAB values from the web and find a formula close to 2449 and use math to mix it?
