I have a new logo design business and I was going to use a copy of Illustrator given to me but I think this is too risky (and wrong). So I decided to use Inkscape to design logos for people who need them. The problem I found already is that Inkscape doesn't have pantone colors to choose from. I thought of a few workarounds, though:
1. Provide logos in only CMYK (for full color printing only) and just provide tiff, eps, svg, png, gif, jpeg file formats. No ai file formats can be provided.
2. Or provide a file with the CMYK values of pantone colors so that if a client needs to have the exact pantone color matches they can submit them to their print shop. I have a swatch book for CMYK and Pantone.
Do any of these ideas sound feasible to any of you? If they don't then I may have to turn down some jobs. If some of you have feedback or ideas I would be very glad to hear them. You can be as honest as you'd like.

Best Regards!
