Creating custom colors
You can define and name your own cus-
tom colors using white, black, or per-
centages of CMYK. Creating your own
custom colors lets you select process
colors in the Paint Style palette by name,
import process colors from one docu-
ment to another, and make global color
changes to artwork. When you color
separate the artwork, each custom color
is printed out on a separate piece of film
or converted to its process color equiv-
alent, as described in Spot color output.
