Using schemes
In PagePlus, a color scheme is a cluster of five complementary colors that you
can apply to specific elements in one or more publications. The Schemes tab
displays preset schemes which can be selected at any point during the design
process. Each publication can have just one color scheme at a time; the current
scheme is highlighted in the Schemes tab. You can easily switch schemes,
modify scheme colors, apply schemes to any publication, even create your own
custom schemes. Color schemes are saved globally, so the full set of schemes is
always available.
How color schemes work
Color schemes in PagePlus work much like a paint-by-numbers system, where
various regions of a layout are coded with numbers, and a specific color is
assigned (by number) to each region. For example, imagine a line drawing
coded with the numbers 1 through 5. To fill it in, you'd use paint from jars also
numbered 1 through 5. Swapping different colors into the paint jars, while
keeping the numbers on the drawing the same, would produce quite a different
painting.
In PagePlus, the "paint jars" are five
numbers you can assign to objects in your
publication. They're known as "Scheme
Color 1," "Scheme Color 2," and so on.
When you apply Scheme Color 1 to an
object, it's like saying, "Put the color from
jar number 1 here."
• The Schemes tab shows the various available schemes, each with a
different set of five colors in the five "jars." Whichever named color
scheme you select, that scheme's first color (as shown in its sample)
will appear in regions defined as Scheme Color 1, its second color will
map to Scheme Color 2, and so on throughout the publication.
The example below shows three different schemes as applied to a design that's
been marked with Scheme Colors 1 through 5 as in the example above.
