Some graphics applications, such as Adobe Illustrator, may not have spot color swatches updated to include those new colors. What gets tricky is when a company does a brand re-fresh and uses newly added Pantone colors. I rarely ever see anyone spec uncoated spot colors. Most corporate brands will use Pantone spot colors as a reference for official logo colors. If you have a really picky customer it's usually best to show that client an actual swatch of the colored material rather than say it looks like a certain Pantone spot color. At best, Pantone swatch books are really only a common intermediary reference to ballpark those colors. It's no different than swatch books for brands of different kinds of colored roll vinyl to run through a vinyl cutter/plotter. Many specialty materials, such as fabrics or flex face canvas for canopies or awnings, often have their own specific swatch books.
