# Why are the Pantone Color Libraries being removed from my Adobe Creative Cloud apps?

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).
