My web design partner wants to know if there is a reference chart of PMS colors matching hexadecimal color codes? If anyone wants to see her first attempt at web design take a look at my site www.signsoft.co.nz

You can come up with an RGB equivalent of any PMS color in CorelDRAW; then convert that to hexidecimal code. I.E. Pantone 185 Red = R232 G17 B45 = #E8112D.
But, it's not much good, since colors are view differently on different monitors. Pick something that looks close to you, and others shouldn't be too far off.

Nice site Norman. I do believe those have to be the coolest rollovers I have seen.
There's a program called Pantone Colour Web Pro if the if she's going to be using Pantone colours on the web a lot and can't/doesn't want to use the method above. There's information to purchase and a link for a 15 day trial download here - http://www.pantone.com/ShopPantone/product.asp?ProductID=64
Incidentally, they show the Pantone 185 Red swatch on that page, and Jim's conversion is correct.
