    At View> Color> Definitions, you can create a custom color, say

    20%Black. It will then show in the color dropdown list of the table

    designer.

    I never noticed that you can't put a custom tint percentage into the

    box. That ought to be a feature request. So I filed one at ("More

    Versatile Table Shading Fill Percentages"):

    You can go there and add a vote to perhaps increase the chances that

    they will implement it.

    Thanks I knew about that option, but for various reasons the colour definition has to be RGB, which makes creating a tint a lot more tricky.

    Also it should be possible to choose whatever tint you like, not be so restricted. I'll definitely vote for that feature request.

    If you have a RGB colour defined, then all you need to do is specify to print as a Tint and then the percentage of the base colour. Nothing tricky about it.
