: How can I translate CMYK to Pantone colors? In particular, how do I translate CMYK 90C 85M 80Y 63K to a Pantone color?

In Illustrator CC:

Fill in your desired shape with 90C 85M 80Y 63K by selecting it in the color picker then press ok:



Select the shape with the filled color and go to Edit -> Edit Colors -> Recolor Artwork...:



Drop the color in the right panel titled Color Groups:



Click the drop down button and select Color Books -> Pantone + Solid Coated:



and it should be labeled instead of none:



Click the button Ok and save the item. It should create a new color swatch folder with the color you chose at the very bottom:



Double click on the color and it will tell you Pantone Black 6C:
