Bruno: Obi-wan is a scripter and is available for hire for these kinds of projects. (That’s what he’s hinting at.) :-)

I think it would also be possible for a custom script to modify the color based on page number. For example, you could make a color swatch with the name “MyColor” and then apply it to the objects on each page. Then create a folder (group) inside the swatches panel with 10 color swatches named 1color, 2color, and so on. Then you could run the script and it would find all the instances of MyColor on page 1 and replace it with 1color, etc.

(This script doesn’t exist yet, of course, but I’m just imagining one way a script might accomplish this task.)

I don’t know how hard that would be… if it’s really easy, then maybe someone would write it quickly for free. Or if it’s more challenging then it may require a fee.
