Color, color everywhere.

I have 258 shades of gray (shown as every variation of RGB values) listed in my color pallet and don't know how to get rid of them. They are in many files in my book file. Deleting them through Color Definitions at the book and/or file level doesn't work. Anyone with some advice?

Correct answer Arnis Gubins

The fastest way to get rid of them is to edit the ColorCatalog section of the MIF file, deleting the generated colours after the first 16 reserved ones.

An easier (and safer) route is to use Silicon Prairie's Color Tools to remove the unwanted colours. See: Silicon Prairie - FrameMaker Products

These colours are usually created automatically during the import of some graphics (8-bit or indexed raster formats such as PNG, GIF). Recreate these graphics files to use 24-bit colours to avoid FM from adding the colour definitions.

Thank you, Arnis,

This may work well to avoid getting these colors in my document, but it doesn't tell me how to get rid of them after the fact. I have recreated my graphics - even going so far as to make them 1-bit black and white images - and the list of gray will still not go away.
