Bath Fringe Festival: Day 4 - checking and installing colours.

The guide has a cover picture that has a number of colours in it. For the main part of the guide I want to be able to use those colours elsewhere. To do that I used the original Photoshop file, which being CMYK already meant that the CYMK breakdowns would be consistent and used the colour sampler tool to click and select various colours.
The breakdowns you can see in the box on the picture below.

These are then dialled into InDesign in the colour swatches. There is a colour picker tool in InDesign, but that reads the RGB component and then translates that to CMYK. While this is uvula, this method - although a little longer is more reliable.

You'll notice that there's a few very tiny percentages. Probably I'll round these off. Most presses can resolve a 1% dot reliably.

I noted down the percentage by doing the screenshot you can see here and then opened up the file in InDesign and make some new swatches.

Here they are in InDesign. As they are in the swatches they are 'global colours', which means that if I change the swatch, all the colours objects that use that swatch will change as well.
