  1. Which panel in InDesign lets you store and reuse named colors across a document?

    Answer: Swatches panel

    The Swatches panel stores named colors, tints, and gradients for reuse.

  2. What is the main advantage of using a spot color instead of a process color?

    Answer: It prints on a single dedicated ink plate for precise, consistent color

    Spot colors use a dedicated premixed ink plate, giving consistent results often impossible with CMYK mixing.

  3. In the Swatches panel, what does a tint swatch represent?

    Answer: A lighter percentage of an existing base color

    A tint is a screened, lighter percentage of a parent color swatch.

  4. Which color mode should generally be used for documents destined for commercial print?

    Answer: CMYK

    CMYK matches the four-ink process used by most commercial presses.

  5. What happens if you delete a swatch that is applied to objects in your document?

    Answer: InDesign asks you to replace it with another swatch or unnamed color

    InDesign prompts you to choose a replacement color for objects using the deleted swatch.

  6. Which tool or panel is used to sample a color from a placed image and apply it elsewhere?

    Answer: Eyedropper tool

    The Eyedropper tool samples color attributes and applies them to other objects.

  7. What is the purpose of the [None] swatch in InDesign?

    Answer: To remove fill or stroke color, making it transparent

    Applying [None] removes the fill or stroke, leaving no color.
