This reference guide details how to add swatches to eDesign while working on a page.
Follow these steps to add a color while on a page:
- Click on the Fill Color icon in the Control Panel up top.
- Click Add Swatch in the Fill Color modal that opens up.
- Optional – Give it a custom name (or keep the CMYK blend eDesign will automatically put there).
- Click the Add Swatch button to save it.
IMPORTANT: Colors look different on your screen than they do in print, so do not create your swatch based on its appearance on your screen. Select your colors from a printed swatch to ensure print accuracy — the Colors Poster from your yearbook kit is a great resource for this.
When a color is created and saved as a swatch, all staff members can access it immediately.
