Reading through
Planet Gnome i stumbled over a post of
Andreas Nilsson (Random Pixels) who pointed to an interesting entry of the
Scribus Wiki about using Spot Colour palettes (like HKS or Pantone). Of course this works with Gimp and Inskape too.
If you are looking for a conversion table about HKS, CMYK and RAL spot colors
check out this PDF document and this
webpage (HKS N,K,E,Z) or
this (HKS/CMYK/ RGB) or
this (Pantone/CMYK/RGB) too.

You are my hero. This is just the info I needed for an identity project I'm working on. I was afraid I'd have to find a Windows or Mac machine to finish the job.

Or you can use PANTANO:

Do you know if it's possible to convert the Scribus Swatches (imported from Pantone's EPS as described in Scribus' Wiki) to a .gpl palette?
I mean, I know I can create a palette from an imported EPS in Gimp, but I'd like to preserve the swatches names.
Is it possible? I tried using several methods but the problem seems to be that the CMYK swatches can't be converted directly to RGB.
