Swap in a set of shades of color?

I'm working on a magazine that has a color scheme of three-swatch - three colors are used in various of paragraph and character styles. Each quarterly issue uses a different set of three colors to go with each season. I would do this as foolproof as possible - with features I already know, I can think of two methods:

  • Use three shades: primary, secondary, Accent, and change the CMYK values of them each time (them up in our style guide and by typing the values 12 ink).
  • Create twelve samples: primary spring, etc. and reallocate the seasonal nuances in different styles that have the color (a challenge to remember where they all are).

None of those is ideal - both require to remember or maintain a list of something, either a new CMYK values set or a collection of styles that need reallocation. And because of this, two methods may errors.

I assumed that InDesign was pretty fancy to have a smarter way to do, like the nuances of other shades or reallocation of a color group, or something. When I saw the tutorial on color groups, it seemed that their business card example was similar to my situation, but ultimately they didn't not to apply a group of samples for the cards in some sort of new - apparently the color groups are just a way to reduce the height of the list of the nuances. Is there a clever way to do what I think?

When you delete a shade that is in use, you get a prompt to choose a replacement shade. So, if your model has named spring, primary, primary summer swatches, etc.; and the primary sample was used, you would be able to remove primary and replace it with the main spring. Global change, the instances of primary education in the doc.

  • How to convert a color in a new shade of color?

    Hello!

    I have a few shades, and I want to know the RGB values, so I can use them in Word. I can't understand how to convert a shade of tint a new shade of color that doesn't use relative values. I tried dragging the swatch in the Swatches palette, and it creates a new shade of reason, not a new shade of color. I tried clicking on the new icon shade, and it simply reproduces the shade.

  • Creation of shades of colors in Illustrator

    I want to create the halftone color with Adobe Illustrator cc 2015 for a look of comic strip. Why the black and white gradient turns into a halftone color which is the color? Shouldn't be black and white? In addition, what tool is better to use shades of color, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop?

    Thank you

    because in RGB color mode represents fire. all colors are red, green and blue. in CMYK mode, it represents the inks. This black can consist of a single black ink or a combination of the other inks. in your case, it seems as if it was only in black.

  • Why can't create shades of color from scratch (not derived from photo)?

    Hey Adobe-ers,

    I am a long-time Adobe product user, and I used the tools of color from Kuler. It is disconcerting that the mobile versions of this tool (CC color then its subsequent integration with catch CC) do not seem to give you the means to create shades of color from scratch - instead requiring an input image and picking color points.

    It seems obvious that finding inspiring colour combinations of your external environment (and take a picture of them) and derived from the color combination of your imagination, is completely different creative workflow that can the two place to the creation of assets of color. Only the former mode (probably more complex) is supported seems quite bizarre!

    I appreciate really new workflows that adobe have aroused, especially on the use of cloud storage to make simple goods to share between machines - but I'd love to have a place to create shades from scratch (in the way of the CC of color web - app) without the workaround of blocking pipeline creative to have to take a picture at random and then change the colors derived from distraction to possibly meet what I had imagined.

    PS Apologies in advance integrated;  There is a way to do and there is just something missing me, this has been answered, or if this is not the right place for feature requests etc.

    Hello Stephen,

    Thanks for that. No, you do not miss anything. This feature is only in the web version of the application. From time to time, we receive requests, to incorporate it into the app now in the mobile version, you need to capture a theme. Then change it.

    I'll leave a note for the team with your comments.

    And, just to alleviate any concerns... the right place for your comments is everywhere where it is easier for you to leave. Finally, we see (and try to respond to) everything.

    Thanks again.

  • Shade of color shows ONLY shades of gray on the gradient layer...?

    My color chart seems to be defaulting to only shades of gray on a gradient layer, and I can just find a way to let him replace the color I chose.  After that I created a new layer of gradient fill, when I have the layer selected in the layer list on the right side of the screen, color samples show ONLY gray.  If I click on the sample, it brings up the color selector, but no matter what color I select, the swatch shows shades of gray.  If I select the background layer, it goes back to show my color.

    There's probably a simple explanation to this problem, but I was searching Google for literally hours without finding an answer.  I found some similar questions have the response "go to Image, Mode, and make sure that RGB is selected."  Mine is already set to RGB, so it's not the question.

    How can I change the colors in a gradient fill layer, and why my color chart displays grayscale only when I selected gradient fill layer, even if by clicking on the color chart reveals the color picker?

    To change/edit the gradient colors, double click on the thumbnail of the gradient in the layers panel fill

    Then in the gradient fill box, click just to the right of the gradient word to change the colors

    In the gradient editor, click one of the stages of the color at the bottom of the gradient bar and click color to change the color of this judgment

    There is much more to the gradient to the room Editor to explain on the forum, so you can view the following for more information

    The reason for which continues to show your color in levels of gray, is the layer mask is still active with adjustment layers in photoshop elements and layer masks are grayscale

  • How to set the page background color

    I would like to create a book with blank pages, some gray and some black backgrounds.  In photoshop, it's easy to set a background color, but I don't see how to do this in InDesign CS4.  It should be easy, but I can't find the answer anywhere!

    Thanks for your help.

    Paul

    Unless you intend to actually print the background color, rather than printing these pages in stock color, you should put a layer of sepatate behind everything and be together the nonprinting layer or turn off the visibility before the release.

    In addition, if the majority of the publication will be released on colored stock, you can change the shade [paper] to show something close, so you will not need to have a special background for these pages.

  • OfficeJet pro more than 8600: different shades of color on each line of text

    I have 3 printers Officejet 8600 and I have the same problem, regardless of printing from a Windows 8, Windows 7 or a laptop. Whenever I try to print in a font (say green) colored grand (say 48) (say arial) the odd lines have a different shade of green to them even.  This applies to Word and Indesign.  I also did a whiteboard with 14 one lines, a red fill and the first 2-3 red lines were a different shade of red for the others!  I contacted HP technical services and they went through various troubleshooting switching off etc but nothing works. They want to send me a new printhead, but this may not be the same problem with all three printers.  Everyone knows this? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • How to set all the same color curves

    Hello

    I have some data that I needed draw and want to draw all the curves of the same color.  Normally I just select each individual curve adjust settings, but there are more than 12,000 curves and the manual process would take forever.

    Any ideas?

    Yes, I 2012

    I eventually settled on this

    Dim oMyCurves, oMyCurve
    View.Sheets (1). Areas (1). DisplayObjType = "CurveChart2D".
    Set oMyCurves = View.Sheets (1). Areas (1). DisplayObj.Curves
    For each oMyCurve in oMyCurves
    oMyCurve.Color = "other colors".
    oMyCurve.ColorRGB = RGB (211,211,211)
    Next

    However, it takes very long.

  • keyFocus research set the Boolean background color

    I searched "ctl class [] colors property" before posting.

    I changed the background colors Boolean by their properties [] of different colors, but I was wondering if there is a way to scan the controls [] refnums and set background colors based on the main orientation for the true/false.

    See the code snippet. I don't see a property of background colors in the ctl class. Is there another under "ctl" class that allows you to set Boolean [] property colors?

    Thank you

    There is no property to the control level.  You will need to cast to a more specific 'Boolean' to get the property.  However, you will have to do in a case because it will error if the control is everything except Boolean.
