If you had tables, paragraph, character, object, etc. Styles, I thought it would be nice to be able to set the Colour to be “Master Page Swatch”.įor headings then it would read the “Master Page” swatch that you set, and apply that colour. In Paragraph, Character, Table, Object etc. Master A = Pantone 376 (or a CMYK/RGB build)- that shows up under the page, currently only a few are selectable and they are not in the swatches panel Even adding multiple Master Colours, for a colour scheme build, for example. Then for a magazine, for example, that has different coloured sections. I’m not saying this is based on my idea, I hope it’s not :) Anyway here’s how I envisaged a feature like this would work:Īssign a Colour Swatch (from the swatches panel) to the page. I remember talking to someone about it, and they thought it was a good idea, but I don’t think they fully grasped the idea. Largely because I think I recommended this for InDesign a few years back. I was largely disappointed with this feature.

And that gets flagged in Mac using Labels, as green, red, orange etc.įWIW – you can also set the master page to use a colour label – then in the pages you can assign a different colour – or the option to USE MASTER COLOUR is there. I know one place that has every page (yes not article) on a separate document. It’s a nice idea, and implementing a colour coded system is great for a lot of workflows. If you have come up with a unique use for color labels, please share them in the comments. Sections (blue is the guitar section, red is the drum section).Selects (which version of an ad that you or the client like best).Status (red has not been started, green is complete).This can be useful to visually see the pages in your layout are connected to a particular master page.Ĭolor labels are pretty straight forward to use, but they have a variety of uses including: When you are choosing a color, you have the option to use the master page color. Using color labels is pretty straightforward, but they do have an interesting feature. The label doesn’t print, but instead it shows up under the pages thumbnail. When you select a page and either right click or go to the pages panel menu, you will get an option to add a color label. Color labels let you apply a highlight to the bottom of pages in the pages panel. Buried in the pages panel is a new feature in CS5 (and CS5.5) that you might have missed, color labels.
