Change the tint of a color
1 Select a global process color or spot color in the Swatches panel, or select an object to which you’ve applied a global
process color or spot color.
2 In the Color panel, drag the T slider or enter a value in the text box to modify the color’s intensity. The tint range is
from 0% to 100%; the lower the number, the lighter the tint will be.
If you don’t see the T slider, make sure that you have a global process color or spot color selected. If you still don’t see
the T slider, choose Show Options from the Color panel menu.
3 To save the tint as a swatch, drag the color to the Swatches panel, or click the New Swatch button in the Swatches
panel. The tint is saved with the same name as the base color, but with the tint percentage added to the name. For
example, if you saved a color named “Sky Blue” at 50 percent, the swatch name would be “Sky Blue 50%.”
