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.
