About editing or renaming colors

When editing or renaming permanent colors, bear in mind that colors are referenced in the GNML tags by their names, but in the page objects, they are referenced by internal identifiers.

ABOUT CHANGING COLOR'S PERCENTAGE

If you change a color percentage on a color that has been used on pages in production, all the objects and texts that were colored by modified color, will be automatically recolored to new color.

ABOUT RENAMING COLORS

If you rename a permanent color "X" that has been used on objects in production in color "Z", all the objects that were colored by "X", will be filled by "Z" (they won't change their look and feel, but only the color name), but all the texts using the color "X" in tags will cause justification error, unless you create a new color and give it the name "X".

DIFFERENCES WITH QUICK COLORS

Editing of quick colors is somehow different: if you edit them, you practically create another quick color. The quick colors are deleted only when you delete the object which was painted by that quick color, or remove color tags from text.

You cannot rename quick colors.

ABOUT C,M,Y AND K COLORS

You cannot edit, rename, or delete C,M,Y and K colors. Anyway, you can move them elsewhere in the color list.

_caution Attention!

Have in mind that the order of the C,M,Y and K colors in the colors list determines the order of color separation plates in the Postscript file, and/or CMYK PDF.

Thus, if you move and reorder C,M,Y and K colors, ensure that their order is still C,M,Y, and K, otherwise, the order of colors in your color-separated PDFs may be different than standard.
