I'm using Scribus for some print design projects and I'm trying to find out how to use Pantone spot colors. The wiki here has a list of steps to follow but I was confused on #3 when is says to "assign the correct Pantone color names." Does that mean under Colors>Edit I name my colors the Pantone Color code as well as checking the box for 'spot color'? If so is there a specific format to be used like "Pantone 100" or "Pantone100" etc. ?

Thank you!!

Yes.

At least if I got you correctly.

For Spot colors (and Pantone colors are the most common type of spot colors) it's the name of the color that matters.

You will probably pick a value, too... but that value will only be used for the preview on screen (and also on "non offset" printers) and will be ignored when printing with spot colors.
(Of course, for your sanity, you will want to match as well as possible the rendering of the color with the color that will be printed... but it's not a requirement.)
