Random color (apparently in use) in new indesign documents

I keep opening indd docs and when i clean the colours up (delete all unused) i am always left with a 100% cyan colour. there is no evidence of this colour being used anywhere.

Also to support this: when I create a new INDD doc the colour is found in that too. (in use)

thoughts?

I think I agree Sandee. I just did a ring around to other designers in other sites and they are having the same glitch.

They all find it terribly annoying

Hi,

there are some threads about this problem here in the forums.

Especially see this one here:

Strange problem: Pasting text to InDesign CC2015 always adds cyan color

100% Cyan is one of the default colors which is included in every print document.

If you open InDesign with no documents open, you can remove swatches and add swatches to choose the swatch colors you'd like in each new document.

Yes cyan is one of the defaults but what my issue is my documents all say cyan is in use when it isnt.

I can create a new indd doc and even as a fresh blank doc cyan shows that it is somewhere in use which is impossible because there is nothing in the blank file.
