Swatches panel overview
The Swatches panel (Window > Color > Swatches) lets you create and name colors, gradients, or tints, and quickly apply them to your document.
Swatches are similar to paragraph and character styles; any change you make to a swatch affects all objects to which the swatch is applied.
Swatches make it easier to modify color schemes without having to locate and adjust each individual object.
When the fill or stroke of selected text or an object contains a color or gradient applied from the Swatches panel, the applied swatch is highlighted
in the Swatches panel. Swatches you create are associated only with the current document. Each document can have a different set of swatches
stored in its Swatches panel.
When working with a prepress service provider, swatches let you clearly identify spot colors. You can also specify color settings in a preflight
profile to determine which color settings work with your printer.
Six CMYK-defined colors appear in the default Swatches panel: cyan, magenta, yellow, red, green, and blue.
When you print a book whose chapters contain conflicting swatches, you can instruct InDesign to synchronize settings with the master
document. (See Synchronize book documents.)
Swatch types
The Swatches panel stores the following types of swatches:
Icons on the Swatches panel identify the spot and process color types, and LAB , RGB , CMYK , and Mixed Ink color
modes.
A percentage value next to a swatch in the Swatches panel indicates a tint of a spot or process color.
An icon on the Swatches panel indicates whether a gradient is radial or linear .
The None swatch removes the stroke or fill from an object. You can’t edit or remove this swatch.
Paper is a built-in swatch that simulates the paper color on which you’re printing. Objects behind a paper-colored object won’t print where
the paper-colored object overlaps them. Instead, the color of the paper on which you print shows through. You can edit the Paper color to match
your paper stock by double-clicking it in the Swatches panel. Use the Paper color for previewing only—it will not be printed on a composite printer
or in color separations. You can’t remove this swatch. Do not apply the Paper swatch to remove color from an object. Use the None swatch
instead.
If the Paper color is not working as described, and you are printing to a non-PostScript printer, try switching your printer driver to Raster
Graphics mode.
Black is a built-in, 100% process color black defined using the CMYK color model. You can’t edit or remove this swatch. By default, all
occurrences of Black overprint (print on top of) underlying inks, including text characters at any size. You can disable this behavior.
