    I’ve got 2 paragraph styles for captions, one is a bulleted list with a camera icon that is dark and the other is the same thing, except the text and camera icon are white. I like to have my captions over top of the images rather than under / over / to the side, etc. So if the image is dark I apply the white caption style, and if the image is light I apply the dark caption style. This is fine if you’re manually inputting the caption information with text boxes that overlay the image. However, I’d like to auto-generate captions based on metadata criteria so I don’t have to spend a ton of time doing this manually.

    Is there a way to automatically change the paragraph style (or apply a character style if that’s easier) if text is over a dark image? I can imagine setting up 2 object styles for images (1 dark image, 1 light image) and applying the text colour change based on the underlying object style.

    Is this possible using GREP or another method?

    Thanks,

    Fraser

    Quick update. I found the GREP that allows me to change the text colour for the caption itself. So the text colour will change depending on the object style it’s over (dark or light), but the camera bullet icon doesn’t change.
