My approach was simply to start by defining the correct Pantone color as
the color in my Frame doc (including its name). If that color was
unreasonably hard on my eyes online, or otherwise unsuitable for use
during doc development, then I might assign it to be 100% black (if
CYMK) or 100% blue (if RGB) while creating the document.

Then do a pre-production step: open color definitions, look at the color
Pantone 1234 (or whatever it is) that you've made Black or Blue for
development purposes, select the correct Pantone color from the
libraries and apply it, and tell the dialog Yes, you want to apply the
library settings to the color you've got up on screen. (I do it this way
only because when you apply the library setting, it overwrites whatever
color name you've created already. So you might as well use the library
name in the first place.)
