Overlapping and Blending Colors of Two Objects in InDesign
1. Create two objects.
2. Choose colors that will blend well
together - blue and yellow make
green, blue and red make purple,
etc.
3. Select the objects.
Click and hold the fx on the Control
Palate and choose Transparency
or go to Object > Effects >
Transparency.
4. Click and hold the Mode dropdown menu and choose Multiply.
Click OK.
5. Push the objects over each other
and the colors will blend and
create a different color. If using
percentages of the same color in
the two objects they will create a
new percentage (30% black and
20% black = 50% black where
there is overlapping).
