In Adobe InDesign, you can add swatches to your document to apply consistent colors throughout your design. Here are the steps to add swatches in InDesign: 1. Open your InDesign document or create a new document. 2. Go to the Swatches panel by clicking on Window > Color > Swatches. 3. Click on the New Swatch button located at the bottom of the Swatches panel. 4. In the New Swatch dialog box, choose a color mode from the Color Type dropdown menu (CMYK, RGB, Lab, or Spot). 5. Enter a name for your swatch in the Swatch Name field. 6. Set the color values for your swatch by entering the specific values in the appropriate fields or by using the color picker. 7. Click OK to add your new swatch to the Swatches panel. You can also add swatches by importing them from other InDesign documents or by loading swatch libraries. To import swatches, go to the Swatches panel menu and choose Load Swatches or select Import Swatches from the panel menu. To load swatch libraries, go to the Swatches panel menu and choose Load Swatch Library. Once you have added swatches to your InDesign document, you can apply them to objects by selecting the object and then clicking on the swatch in the Swatches panel.
