Swatches palette: global rgb?

I'm just curious...why do the global-color swatches show up in the Swatches palette when I have the document and the Color palette set up in RGB.

Cheers, Toni

Do you know what a global swatch is?

My impression is that you do not want global swatches. Is that correct?

Hi John,

Thanks for responding.

Do you know what a global swatch is?




Yes, it's a swatch that has a small white triangle in the lower-right corner. It indicates that it's a global color rather than a non-global color. But my understanding is that global colors only work in CMYK mode.

No, global colors are really useful. I was just curious as to why the Swatches palette in RGB mode has global color swatches, since it's my understanding that global colors don't work in RGB mode. I was just curious why they show up when everything in a document is set for RGB.

I suppose I should mention that I'm still waiting for my CD to get here. In the meantime I'm working with the 11.0.0 tryout version, which I assume isn't updateable (is that a word?).

Cheers, Toni
