Dayfold Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Is it currently possible, or will it be coming in an update, to create a swatch colour that it a combination of 2 or more existing swatches? Similar to Mixed Ink swatches in InDesign, or similar to giving an object 2 fill appearances in Illustrator. The 2 fills, can then be multiplied to create a new mixed colour without having to place 2 identical objects on top of each other. I tried to achieve this using effects for colour overlay and adding a spot colour overlay on an object that was filled with another spot colour. On screen this appeared to work, but failed to export to PDF as far as I can see. Is this possible? Thanks Eugene Tyson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @matt//, You could use the Appearance Panel and add multiple fills. I think this feature was introduced later than the OP's original question. This then is a single object with multiple colour overlays. The only drawback is you can't store it as a swatch. d.
