Now I do need to point out though that you should be very careful when picking colors on your screen because the colors that you see onscreen are probably not going to match what you see in print. I'll just move these sliders around until I see a color I like. And I'll set the color type pop up menu back to process. In this case, I'm going to leave it set to CMYK. If your document is going to be printed you almost certainly want to use CMYK colors but if it's mostly for onscreen viewing maybe printing to a desktop printer then a RGB color swatch is fine. Now in the vast majority of cases you're going to be creating process colors, not spot so let's change this color mode back to CMYK or you could use RGB. Also, if you click OK right now it'll add that swatch to the swatches panel and close this dialogue box so in this case let's just click Add, that adds it to the swatches panel but it keeps the dialogue box open. CC libraries are cool because you can use them across not just InDesign documents but in Photoshop and Illustrator and even some of Adobe's apps on the iPad but in this case we don't want to do that, we just want it here in this document so I'm going to leave that off. First, you need to decide whether this color swatch should also be saved in a CC library. You can type the pantone number up here for example I like pantone 286 so I'll just type that and it jump rights to it.

Most people don't need spot colors but if you do want to make a spot color choose spot and then choose one of the libraries from the color mode pop up menu, for example, I'll choose pantone plus solid coated. Those are spot inks or varnishes, things like that. There's two options, process or spot and spot should only be used if you're going to be printing on a printing press and you know that your printer is using special pantone inks. Here in the new color swatch dialogue box the first thing you need to decide is what color type to choose. Then open the swatches panel menu in the upper right corner and you can choose new color swatch.
Whenever you create a new color swatch you probably want to deselect all the objects on your page, just click out here on the paste board or some place where there's no objects to make sure nothing is selected.

The swatches panel over here in the dock is central headquarters for your document's colors and as we saw in an earlier movie you can use it to apply fill or stroke colors to any object or text on your page but what if you get tired of the colors listed here? What if you want more? Well, let's look at how you can create a new color swatch for your document.
