This changes once you click on one of the colour stops on the Gradient Ramp in the lower part of the window. The area for setting the colour is still greyed out and not editable. In this example, the name is “Gold gradient 1”. In the new window, first assign the name as you would do for a standard colour. Once you have created the four colours, open the Color Themes and click the icon with the three horizontal lines to open a dropdown menu. In this example, we name the four colours “Gold 1” to “Gold 4” with the following values: In this window, you assign the name of the colour and the colour values for the first colour. Subsequently, double-click the newly created colour to open the Swatch Options dialog box. To do so, open the Color Theme and click the New Swatch button. Before we can define the actual gradient, we first have to create each colour separately. In our first example, we will create a gold effect consisting of four different brown and ochre hues. The choice of paper also influences the impact of the gold effect. For this purpose, Adobe InDesign provides a powerful gradient tool that effectively emulates a metallic gold effect. This property is of course difficult to reproduce 100 per cent on paper. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the process colours Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key to emulate a realistic gold effect in your print project without using a spot colour.
Make your graphic design projects sparkle too by adding a touch of class and sophistication using gold highlights. You don’t have to buy expensive jewellery to enjoy the luxury of gold.
