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

[Larstown]

Every time I paste a text into any InDesign document in InDesign CC2015 – it also imports the color 100% cyan to my swatch library. (They text is still black though, and there is no background color or anything.)

Anyone knows why this happens?!?

Not a big deal but quite odd...

… I would think everyone who upgraded from 2015 might have to clean their migrated prefs in order to get the change to [Black]?

Hi Rob,

cleaning Preferences and Caches would not help.

Just did that with CC 2018.1. The problem persists.

You really have to uninstall.

And during a reinstall you must not migrate preferences.

Still same with 2018.

Hi,

Although an old thread, but because it has come at the top again due to some comments, I would like to add that this issue has been fixed with CC 2018 release of InDesign. With this release, we have changed the default Paragraph Shading colour from Cyan to 20% tint [Black].

Thus for all new documents, the shading color that will come by default will not be Cyan. You will also not be seeing "Cyan" in used swatches list when it is not actually being used in the document.
