# How do I access Pantone Colors within Adobe Creative Cloud?

Within Adobe Creative Cloud, the last update made by Adobe to the Pantone Color libraries was over ten years ago. As a result, default Adobe applications are missing over 800 Pantone Matching System® colors, and nearly 5000 Fashion, Home + Interiors Colors.

It was agreed by both Adobe and Pantone, the best route forward was to remove the pre-installed Pantone libraries from Adobe and our solution to this is [Pantone Connect](http://www.pantone.com/connect). Pantone Connect is our digital platform that includes an Extension for Adobe CC programs available to download via the Adobe Exchange [here](https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/103029).

Once installed, you can launch the Pantone Connect Extension through the WINDOW and then EXTENSION menu. Select Pantone Connect from this menu and sign up or sign in, when prompted.
