Identifying colors
You can display symbols that identify the color inks that are stored
on the Color tab in the Inks palette. To identify color inks, choose
Show Color Icons in the palettes pop-up menu. To hide the symbols,
choose Hide Color Icons in the pop-up menu.
Note: If the Color tab contains only CMYK colors, no symbols
appear when you choose Show Color Icons.
The Color tab can contain color inks defined with RGB, CMYK,
grayscale, and spot colors.
The symbol that identifies RGB color inks has tiny red and blue tri-
angles and a green square. The symbol appears at the upper-left of
RGB color cells.
The symbol that identifies spot color inks is a white triangle. The
symbol appears at the lower-right of spot color cells.
No symbol appears on CMYK or Grayscale ink cells.
