Working with Color in InDesign and Illustrator

Get clear on how color works in InDesign and Illustrator. This session covers how each app handles swatches, global colors, and image-based color themes. You’ll learn how to sync color settings, create Pantone spot colors, and manage CMYK vs. RGB swatches. We’ll also explore practical ways to share colors between apps and with teammates—so your designs stay consistent, no matter where you work.

You’ll learn how to:

• Compare color tools in InDesign and Illustrator
• Use global swatches and image-based color generators
• Sync color settings through Adobe Bridge
• Create CMYK, RGB, and Pantone spot swatches
• Share color themes across apps and with others
