1. Re: Spot color swatches in AICS6 and AICC do not match color in design
tman69 Feb 24, 2014 9:41 PM (in response to garyscott19)pantone 361 is pantone 361 no matter how it appears on screen--that said--creating a design and 'then' appying a color can have 'different' results depending on what 'effects' were applied to the design--any transparent effects can cause a color shift--and--in my experience--many designers don't realise that when they use an 'effect' on an object (drop shadow, multiply, etc) and then create another object--the effect is also being applied (27 years in prepress verifies this)
as far as your screen shots are concerned--they appear identical on my monitor.
try this test with one of your designers--have them create an illustrator document with a rectangle filled with a spot color--save it as an .ai file---then have them place that file in Indesign and create a rectangle there--load the same color in the indesign pallette and draw/fill a rectangle before placing the .ai file--then see if they match
