Default Alstyle PMS Colors?

Does anyone have the PMS or CMYK color chart for Alstyle shirts? I know they have this -
Color Chart - T-Shirt Colors

but I'm not sure how to use those values in Photoshop?
For example, AA has a color chart with PMS and CMYK values -
Colors - Wholesale Resources - American Apparel

Go to the color square in your control panel, left click twice. The color picker window will open, change to custom click once on any color of the left, and then just type the PMS color number (no need to type the C). In other words 2728C, you'll type 2728.

There may not be pms matches for all of them. But if there are cmyk values I'd also be interested.

Default Re: Alstyle PMS Colors?

You'll have to follow the same steps, but once you reach the color picker window; instead of switching to custom you write the CMYK values on the bottom right of the window. For example: CMYK 50, 55, 64, 28.
You'll write on the C (Cyan) window 55,
on the M (Magenta) window 55,
on the Y (Yellow) window 64
and on the K (Black) window 28.

Have you contacted Alstyle to see if they could provide them?

Umm... I know that... The problem is that Alstyle doesn't provide the CMYK values for them. I contacted Alstyle and they said they don't use PMS as they custom dye their shirts or something. They weren't very helpful at all. However, a screen printing company was nice enough to have an Alstyle swatch card sent out to me.

I found this chart when searching for same thing . You can add the PMS values in Photoshop.
