Question

InDesign can't find a color tint in the cell when searching for a specific tint percentage on macOS

Hello, cannot figure out why find-and-replace colour tint is not working? These colour tints are applied only to tables inside this document, could that be a problem?

Hi @HARSHIKA_VERMA:

 

On 19.4 and 18.5.2 I am getting the same result. (macOS 14.4.1). I see @karienvdw is also on macOS.

 

It matches when I don't specify a tint percentage, but not when I do.

      Just tried with tint swatches and it works for me on Windows 10 - inDesign 19.4

      Yes, that seems to be the issue. InDesign can find color used in a cell, and it can find tints used as a frame background, but it can't seem to target a tint used as a cell background. You can file a bug report here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs

        Thank you, @Barb Binder, for sharing the video. Let us try to investigate the issue at our end and escalate it to the product team. Could you please tell us your operating system? Please also confirm if it's happening on the previous version as well. 

        Let me check with the team and get back to this post shortly.

         

        Thanks,

        Harshika

        You have it set to 

        Type:
        Text Frames

         

        Try change it to All Frames

        If the colour is no longer required

        Delete the Swatch and you will be prompted with an option to replace the swatch

         

        If you want to keep it in the swatch panel

        Copy the instance of the colour

        Delete the Swatch
        Pick replacement swatch

        Paste your element back in - then delete it

        the swatch should be back.

        Thanks for your effort, but already tried All frames, doesn't work. It isn't a tint swatch, so cannot do your second suggestion either
