Change foreground color and tint
Highlight text. Press CTRL+T. On the C&E tab, under Color, select the color. Spot colors are shown as circles, while process colors are shown as rectangles. Moreover, if the text is linked to a spot color page, all other spot colors are marked with a stop icon, to warn you that you are not supposed to use them in that text. In the % box next to Color, enter the tint percentage (0-100).
Apply a quick color to a selected text
Highlight text. Press CTRL+T. On the C&E tab, double-click a color. On the CMYK tab, select the CMYK components for the color, and the tint value, or, on the RGB tab, select RGB components. Click OK. The color is automatically named as "#" followed by component values, and it appears in the list of colors of the selected palette. Apply the color immediately.
Should you move the cursor without applying the color, the color is not stored.
