kb answered my question

yesterday I asked: "When someone says something will be "printed in pantones xxx and xxx," do they mean that everything-everything will be in those two colors? Blue and gold text, that is?" kb emailed this answer:

yes. pantone colors are used for "spot" colors, as opposed to "process" (CMYK) colors. process colors are blends of the 4 inks, spot colors can be blended with each other or cmyk sometimes, but that is rare. in your case there may be screens of the two pantone colors ( the ink with more paper showing through) but when they say that they mean the job will only use 2 inks.
