I could give you my formula for vegas gold but if you don't use international coating 800 series inks for mixing pms colors it won't work. We found the best pms color match we could and added colors to match. We also added some rutland jewel tone gold to it for a better look... Always tough to match shirt colors. Seems there is no pms match to them..
I just need a color to use in illustrator so when I send my artwork to First Edition, they have the right color. It is for Army colors, black and vegas gold.

Using Illustrator CS3 (not sure if same instructions apply to other versions):
From the menu choose Window > Swatch Libraries > Color Books. Then choose whatever Pantone color chart you need to work with. From the Color Chart that pops up, simple click swatch 465.

Does it really matter? You should just be able to use yellow (or blue or red or green - it really doesn't matter) and specify the colours. It all gets outputted as black anyway, it doesn't matter what the colours are on screen, so long as they're different.
