Apply the last used color
The Toolbox displays the last color or gradient you applied. You can apply this color or gradient directly from the Toolbox.
1. Select the object or text you want to color.
2. In the Toolbox, click the Fill button or Stroke button depending on which portion of the text or object you want to color.
3. In the Toolbox, do one of the following:
Click the Color button to apply the last selected solid color in the Swatches or Color panel.
Click the Gradient button to apply the last selected gradient in the Swatches or Gradient panel.
Click the None button to remove the object’s fill or stroke.
Remove fill or stroke color
1. Select the text or object whose color you want to remove.
2. In the Toolbox, click the Fill button or Stroke button depending on which portion of the text or object you want to change.
3. Click the None button to remove the object’s fill or stroke.
Applying colors by dragging and dropping
An easy way to apply colors or gradients is to drag them from a color source to an object or panel. Dragging and dropping lets you apply colors or
gradients to objects without first selecting the objects. You can drag the following:
The Fill or Stroke box in the Toolbox or a panel.
The Gradient box in the Gradient panel.
Swatches from the Swatches panel.
The last-used, in-gamut color swatch located next to the out-of-gamut icon in a panel.
You can drop colors or gradients on the following objects and panels:
The fill or stroke of a path. To drop color on a fill or stroke, position the center of the drag icon precisely over the path’s fill or stroke while
you drag a color, and then release the mouse button.
The Swatches panel.
If you drag one or more Swatches panel swatches, or the color swatch next to an out-of-gamut icon, you can drop them into another InDesign
document window, which adds the swatches to that document’s Swatches panel.
