Pantone colors in Photoshop
#5
361 C is a solid coated color & should be in one of your color libraries.

Reduce your logo back to black and white.
In your Channels window, add a new Spot Channel. Pick 361 C or whatever is close for that channel. Then copy whatever graphic you need from whatever channel it's in and paste it into the spot channel.

The print guy will be outputting black and white separations and then printing them in whatever colors the job calls for. Good communication is key. You should be able to give him a b&w file or proof and say, print it in 361 C -- even if what you're handing him says something different.

It gets tricky when you're mixing spot colors or spot + back. But get that spot channel set up and it will start to make sense.
