ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 10
MIF Reference
81
Usage
In a MIF file, all colors are expressed as a mixture of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The ColorAttribute
statement identifies a default FrameMaker document color; the default colors are all reserved (specified by the
ColorIsReserved keyword) and cannot be modified or deleted by the user. A reserved default color can have two
ColorAttribute statements, for example:
<ColorAttribute ColorIsCyan>
<ColorAttribute ColorIsReserved>
A color tint must be based on an existing color. This has two implications:
• If the base color doesn’t exist in the document, black is used as the base color for the tint.
• The color value statements (values for CMYK, color family, and ink name) are ignored when included in a tint
statement. However, FrameMaker writes out color value statements for a tint, even though they will be ignored. To
modify the color values of a tint, modify the color value statements for the base color used by the tint.
