@Ambika Vanchinathan I referred that above said link, the given MWE is not working with my end, I am using normal LaTeX 2e (MiKTeX 2.9 latest version), I copied and pasted the xspotcolor.sty in the local working folder also. – RCV Nov 08 '16 at 09:39

As far as I can see, the »xspotcolor« project hasn't been updated since 2013 and I fail to find the package on ctan. However, it consists of a couple of files and adding the code of xspotcolor.sty would not suffice.
But Javier Bezos has written the colorspace package, which also allows using pantone spotcolors. See here: Package colorspace, updated in October 2016! It supports pdftex, but not, as far as I understand the manual, compiling with LaTeX to a DVI.
If you can live with pdfTeX, this seems the way to go.

You are right - only pdftex and luatex. But contributions for other engines are welcome. – Javier Bezos Mar 21 '17 at 13:56

Take a look at xespotcolor by Apostolos Syropoulos. It works well with XeLaTeX and TikZ and it did a great job for me.
