Defining colors, spot colors and tints
Color selectors, such as the drop-down list on the toolbar, initially contain a small set of colors.
Add your own colors so that they can be used throughout the templates, in all contexts and in
color selector dialogs as well as with their names in style rules (see "Styling and formatting" on
page๎465).
Defining colors
To define colors:
1.
Select Edit > Colors on the menu.
2. Add a color. There are two ways to do this:
l
Click the New button (the green plus).
l
Select an existing color from the list and copy it using the Duplicate button .
(The Filter drop-down limits the list to colors of a certain type.) Select the new color
and click the Edit button .
3. In the Edit color dialog, type a name for the color (or let the Designer create a name based
on the values that you select). The colorโs name can be used in style sheets. This name
should not contain spaces or special characters.
Tip
Working with style sheets? Choose a name that informs about the purpose of the
color, rather than a name that describes the color. This way you won't have to
change the color's name in the style sheets when you change the color.
4.
Click Color. (Tint is used for transparent colors.)
5.
Select the color type: CMYK or RGB.
The letters CMYK stand for Cyan (a greenish-blue color), Magenta (reddish-purple),
Yellow and Key (black). In color printing, these are the usual primary colors.
RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. In the RGB color model, red, green, and blue light
are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. This model is
typically used for electronic devices.
If applicable, check Spot color. Note that spot colors can only be used on certain printers.
