The title of the TOC I've got set up in my document is picking up the character style applied to the first entry in the TOC. If I remove the character style from the section heading being pulled into the TOC as the first entry, the TOC title goes back to its proper dark gray color, but as soon as I reapply the character color to the section heading being pulled into the TOC as the first entry and update my TOC, the title changes color to blue. Is there a way to fix this? Or maybe there is a different way to accomplish what I'm going for. Each section of my document is color coded, and I'm trying to pull that color coding into my TOC. Here is how I'm currently accomplishing that: Each section heading being pulled into the TOC is white text on a colored background. I've made the section heading paragraph style have a character color of gray but at 0%, so it appears white. Then I've applied a character color on top of the fake white to change the text to match the color coding of the section. It still looks white because of the 0% color in the paragraph style. This is all good. When the TOC is generated, the TOC entry style is at 100% of a color, so each section entry appears in the color of the section it comes from due to the character style applied to each section heading. Still all good. But, as I stated above, the TOC title itself (in this case, the word Contents) is taking on that character color of the first entry. I suppose the easiest fix would be to just remove the TOC title from the TOC itself and have it as separate text, but I'm curious about this functionality. Why is the TOC title taking on the character style of the first entry of the TOC? Is there a way to stop it? Or maybe there's a better way to color code my TOC? Thanks in advance for any input.
