6. Drag the slider bars to set the values for the color and click OK or Apply.
Defining a spot color
A spot color is any color generated by an ink (pure or mixed). If your printer can use spot colors
and you want a spot color to be used in a Print context, you can define the color as described
above, with two differences:
l
Check the option Spot color instead of Color.
l Make sure that the color’s name matches that of the spot color used in the printer.
Defining a tint
A tint is a transparent color, based on another color in the template. To define a tint:
1.
Select Edit > Colors on the menu.
2.
Click the New button (the green plus) to add the tint.
3.
Click the Type drop-down and select Tint.
4. 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 color’s name can be used in style sheets. This name
should not contain spaces or special characters.
5.
Select one of the existing colors in the template as t the Source of the color. The tint or
opacity will be applied to this color.
6.
Check Use opacity if you want to set the Tint slider to use Opacity instead.
7. Use the slider to set the percentage of the tint or opacity, or type the percentage directly in
the input box and finally click OK.
Applying a color
Colors can be applied to elements in your templates locally or through style sheets.
Using colors in style sheets
It is highly recommended to use style sheets in templates right from the start. Even more so if
the communications are going to be output to different output channels, or if they consist of
different sections (for example, a covering letter followed by a policy). Using CSS with
templates allows a consistent look and feel to be applied. A style sheet can change the look of
multiple elements, making it unnecessary to format each and every element in the template,
