00;00;05;00 - 00;00;08;00
Creating color swatches.

00;00;08;28 - 00;00;10;02
Another useful

00;00;10;02 - 00;00;13;02
tool in InDesign is the swatches panel.

00;00;13;04 - 00;00;17;02
We already have this nested in our panels
here, so let's click to open it.

00;00;17;10 - 00;00;21;07
This is kind of a quick link area
where you can create colors

00;00;21;07 - 00;00;23;09
that you want to reuse over and over again

00;00;23;09 - 00;00;26;14
in your layouts,
and make them quickly accessible here.

00;00;27;04 - 00;00;30;04
There are a couple of good website tools
that can help you

00;00;30;04 - 00;00;32;28
when you're trying to find the colors
you need.

00;00;32;28 - 00;00;36;29
In this particular document,
we're working with Cmyk colors.

00;00;36;29 - 00;00;38;01
So when you want to add them

00;00;38;01 - 00;00;41;23
to the swatches panel,
you'll have to have the same values.

00;00;41;27 - 00;00;46;06
One of the websites that I use frequently
to find the different hex codes,

00;00;46;06 - 00;00;50;20
or to get the Cmyk
values, is called Color book I.

00;00;51;25 - 00;00;54;06
Here you
could type in the name of a color.

00;00;54;06 - 00;00;57;06
So for example teal and click search.

00;00;57;11 - 00;01;00;14
And now it'll give you
not only the hexadecimal code

00;01;00;14 - 00;01;03;23
but also the CMI k values
that you would need to enter.

00;01;04;01 - 00;01;07;03
Another great website is called Coolers Co

00;01;07;06 - 00;01;10;11
and this helps
you work through different color palettes.

00;01;10;12 - 00;01;12;06
So by clicking on the spacebar

00;01;12;06 - 00;01;15;17
I can click through
and find different color combinations.

00;01;16;05 - 00;01;20;10
Again
it lists the hexadecimal code off the bat,

00;01;20;10 - 00;01;21;26
But if you click on the arrow

00;01;21;26 - 00;01;25;19
next to picker,
you can actually change to Cmyk color.

00;01;25;19 - 00;01;30;03
Now it'll list the Cmyk values that
you would need to enter into InDesign.

00;01;30;03 - 00;01;33;03
So let's come over to InDesign.

00;01;33;08 - 00;01;36;24
With the swatches
panel open, let's add a new swatch.

00;01;36;26 - 00;01;41;14
You can see it puts a default one called
Black Copy down here at the bottom.

00;01;41;22 - 00;01;45;05
Now I can double click on it
to enter the information.

00;01;45;06 - 00;01;47;02
Let's call this one teal.

00;01;47;02 - 00;01;49;21
So I'll need to grab these Cmyk colors.

00;01;49;21 - 00;01;54;26
And I'm going to do that
by coming over to my color document.

00;01;55;14 - 00;01;56;29
We're going to come to teal.

00;01;56;29 - 00;02;02;00
And we need to enter 100 zero zero and 50.

00;02;02;03 - 00;02;07;04
So that was 100 zero zero and 50.

00;02;07;25 - 00;02;09;11
We'll click okay.

00;02;09;11 - 00;02;13;29
And now you can see down at the bottom
here it's got the name that I put in teal.

00;02;14;00 - 00;02;16;14
And it's got the color that I entered.

00;02;16;14 - 00;02;18;06
So if I wanted to change

00;02;18;06 - 00;02;22;05
the color of my title here for example,
I could highlight it

00;02;22;05 - 00;02;26;11
and simply scroll down in my swatches
panel and click on teal.

00;02;26;17 - 00;02;31;18
You can now see that my title has been
changed to that teal color.
