Thanks very much for responding Peter! Interesting behaviour - the above 
will process in ConTeXt, but to match the Corel name I need a space 
after the '294' as well, which results in:

--
[MP to PDF] (./ifs-fmar-bk-mpgraph.1 [unknown MP special 294]
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                    C
\@@cl@@r ->C
             V
etc.

But in any case - did you get a functioning PDF file when you used the 
above definition? Despite the fact that ConTeXt completes its run, I get 
a broken file with your definition. Maybe this is because I am using 
multiple tints of the spot? My color defs look like this:

\setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start]
\definecolor[PANTONE 294CV][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18]
\definecolor[IFSblue][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=1]
\definecolor[IFSbluetint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.2]
\definecolor[IFSblueheadertint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.12]
\definecolor[IFSbluetabletint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.15]

As I say, even with this definition (missing the final space) the PDF 
result won't open in Acrobat (colour space error). Does your open?

Thanks again, much appreciated.
