Defining custom colors and tints
Color is an effective way to draw the eye to text and objects you want to emphasize. Every
FrameMaker 7.0 document includes definitions for several standard colors.
In this lesson, you’ll define a color to use for autonumbers and for selected words and
phrases. Then you’ll create a lighter tint of that color to use for headings.
