Pantone guide -> RGB??

[JaymeNYC]

I have the pantone formula guide solid coated and I see that the symbol with the 3 circles means that whatever pantone color I'm looking at can be simulated in RGB..but where is the code to simulate the color? :confused:

Knowing pantone, it probably costs extra or is in another $200 book... but I don't know really so can't help. Just wanted to make a jab and get closer to 1k.

Can any1 help explain? Even when I pick the same pantone color in photoshop or illustrator thats in the pantone book it turns out wrong..pantone 199 C for example..in photoshop and illustrator it turns out pinkish. So I kind of feel like I'm where I was before getting this book with tryin to eye a color to get it as close to the pantone color..am I missin something? whats the point of the RGB and CMYK symbols?

Jayme, GDF gets pretty quiet over the weekend. You might want to give this a bump Monday morning.

I don't have a current Pantone guide here at home, and it's an old solid/coated fan that just has the ink mixtures listed.
