1) Start Photoshop.
2) Open a new document in the RGB color space. IMPORTANT: You *must* specify a working space for the document. Let's say that you are specifying sRGB as your working space.
3) Once the sRGB blank document is open (its canvas size and resolution are irrelevant to this exercise), click on the foreground color patch in the tool palette (or panel). That brings up the Color Picker window. Enter your desired RGB values.
4) Now click on the "Color Libraries" button. That brings up a "Color Libraries" window. From the "Book:" pulldown menu choose your preferred color library (say, Pantone Solid Coated), and you will see that the "Color Libraries" window selects PANTONE code as the color closest to the one you specified previously in the Color Picker window.
You can repeat this procedure for all your other RGB values.
But remember this one thing: first you *must* specify which RGB working space/profile you are using in your open document, or your PANTONE color choices may turn out incorrect.
