Specify a color space for blending transparent objects
To blend the colors of transparent objects on a spread, InDesign converts the colors of all objects to a common color
space using either the CMYK or RGB color profile for the document. This blending space enables objects of multiple
color spaces to blend when interacting transparently. To avoid color mismatches between different areas of the objects
on screen and in print, the blending space is applied for screen and in the flattener.
The blending space is applied only to those spreads that contain transparency.
❖
Choose Edit > Transparency Blend Space, and then choose one of the document’s color spaces.
Note: For a typical print workflow, choose the Document CMYK color space.
