Why are the colours in Fashion+Home palette in Corel X5 with names not with TPC or TPX numbers?
Why than you can not open your own Fashion+Home Digital Library?
How the fashion and textile designers will work with X5 if all the fabric producers work with Pantone numbers not with names?
Is there a possibility to adjust that and how ?
I saw just the trial version I wanted this week to order X5, but I am wondering now ......
The names in the files came to Corel from PANTONE. What are you looking at that shows the names differently then how they are being displayed in the applications?

The Pantone Fashion and Home pallet swatches have two names - the Pantone reference name ( like PANTONE 11-0602 TCX ) and alpha name ( e.g. "Snow White" ) as secondary identifier ( http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20051&ca=1 ). We used secondary identifier name as a name we show in our UI, however apparently F&H are quite different in this regard compared to other Pantone pallets. The original Pantone reference names are in the palette ( PantoneFashionHomeCotton.xml ) but it would require quite a lot of copy paste editing for user to make it work. We can regenerate F&H palettes using Pantone reference numbers, instead of secondary names, and make them available. However first we need to know whether nobody in textile/fashion world is using secondary alpha names e.g." Snow White" for reference. Currently our spot palette UI do not have support for both reference and secondary name, before F&H there was no need. Anybody who is using F&H Pantone libraries - could you please give your feedback about what Pantone reference you rely on - TCX/TC or name? Thanks.

Because I asked Pantone the same question that is the answer:
If CorelDRAW has support for the PANTONE FASHION + HOME library, the colors would have to be displayed with the PANTONE numbers. Pantone would not allow any software licensee to display the PANTONE colors with just the names. You should check to be sure this is in fact a PANTONE library, and not a generic textile library.
When you have to show trends or new colours for the public - you use the names that's nicer , but when you send an information to the industrie for example , you dont send 100 names but the reference name(numbers). And realy it takes a lot of time to search and manualy to replace them.
I have a disk with Fashion + Home Pantone Digital Library and there they are with the numbers.
If Corel make a possibility to open this palette maybe that's will be a decision.
I really want that to work ,because this week there is a discount in OfficeCenter and I can buy Corel X5 a little bit cheaper :))))
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Do I understand you correctly - you need us to show both Pantone reference number AND the alternative name in Draw X5 UI?

First Thank you for the fast reaction !!!!
I personally need just the numbers! I know that's not possible and is not usual for Corel - one palette with 2 names.And than the search also will be not easy .Normally you just type the number and it shows very fast. I also want to tell you, that the Trends books give also both names for the new fashion colours.
I wonder if you make it like update, just extra pallete ,maybe thats will be the best !!!
So the custumers can use both of them!!!
For example- Pantone Fashion+Home (reference numbers) - that is just an idea for solution!
I will be happy if I was helpful. A lot of different type designers use the program and you cant know everything to satisfied everybody, that's because come new versions :)
