1. Do I need to set a color profile in InDesign / Photoshop / Illustrator when matching a color to a Pantone Bridge book CMYK swatch?

2. If I do / do not use color management, will I have inconsistencies with my Photoshop tif and my Illustrator eps being placed into my InDesign doc, and finally output to PDF for an online printer?

I don't yet have a calibrated monitor and I need a visual reference that's reliable in terms of the fake "solid" color I'll be printing (a yellow-ish gold color)?

Thank you for any thoughts and input!
