Is there anyway to change the default Swatches Colours panel from HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness) to CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) so that all the defined colours are cmyk, a must for commercial printing.

At least the 4 process colours should be defined.

I know you can define and add your own colours to a document, but it seems against the grain that when you select one of the defined colours it is defined in HSL.

I've been using Quark Xpress and InDesign for years and it seems odd that a professional Publishing program doesn't default to cmyk colour swatches.

I’d add an extra palette (the others you can delete) and define the colors you want and need.

What is working fine: Export your color palette from InDesign (*.ase) and import it into Publisher.

@mac_heibu Great, thanks for that. I didn't know you could import InDesign colour palettes into Publisher. You learn something every day!

Just need to have Publisher import eps files with spot colours and not have it convert them to cmyk...
